Twitch Drops

Overview

Neverness to Everness has used Twitch Drops campaigns to distribute closed beta access to players. By linking a Perfect World Games (PWG) account with a Twitch account and watching streams in the NTE category, viewers enter a prize pool for a chance to receive test access. Multiple campaigns have been run across the game's beta testing phases.

How Twitch Drops Work

Participation follows the same general process across all NTE Twitch Drops events:

1. Link Accounts: Visit the official event page and connect your PWG game account to your Twitch account.

2. Watch Streams: Open any live stream in the "NTE (Neverness to Everness)" category on Twitch.

3. Complete Viewing Quest: Watch for the required duration to complete the viewing quest and enter the prize pool.

4. Wait for Results: Winners are selected from the pool and notified via email at the address linked to their PWG account. Emails are typically sent within 24 hours of the event ending.

Important: Completing the viewing quest does not guarantee test access. It enters you into the qualification drop pool, where winners are randomly selected. Not all participants will receive access.

Containment Test Twitch Drops

The first Twitch Drops campaigns were tied to the Containment Test closed beta in July 2025. Two rounds were conducted to distribute access keys.

Round 1

Round 2

Co-Ex Test Twitch Drops

The second major Twitch Drops campaign ran alongside the Co-Ex Test in February 2026. This time, test access covered multiple platforms.

Direct registration for the Co-Ex Test on PC and PS5 had closed by the time the Twitch Drops campaign launched. Twitch Drops became the primary method for players who missed registration to still gain access.

Tips for Maximizing Your Chances

• Link your accounts early. Account linking must be completed before you start watching streams.

• Watch any stream in the NTE category. You do not need to watch a specific streamer.

• Keep the stream running for the full required duration. Pausing or closing the tab before completing the quest will not count.

• Check your email (including spam/junk folders) within 24 hours of the event ending.

• Each Twitch account can only be linked to one PWG account.

Future Events

With the global launch scheduled for April 29, 2026, additional Twitch Drops events may be announced for launch celebrations or post-launch content updates. Follow the official NTE social media channels and the Twitch event page for announcements.

Launch Preview Livestream Ties

Perfect World Games has scheduled a Launch Preview Livestream for April 18, 2026 at 18:00 UTC, broadcasting simultaneously on the official Neverness to Everness YouTube and Twitch channels. The stream airs eleven days before the global launch on April 29, 2026, and is positioned as a final walkthrough of day-one content, the launch roadmap, and initial reward distributions for new and returning players.

Although the studio has not published an official launch-window Twitch Drops campaign at the time of writing, the simultaneous Twitch broadcast, combined with prior Perfect World Games behavior during the Containment Test and Co-Ex Test cycles, makes a launch-tied drops event highly likely. The sections below describe the expected shape of such a campaign based on how NTE has historically run Twitch Drops. Treat every unconfirmed detail as anticipated rather than guaranteed until the studio publishes an official event page.

Status as of April 2026: livestream confirmed, launch-tied Twitch Drops campaign unconfirmed.

How Twitch Drops Typically Work

Across the Containment Test and Co-Ex Test campaigns, every NTE Twitch Drops event has followed the same four-step pattern. Viewers link a Perfect World Games account to their Twitch account, open any live stream in the NTE directory on Twitch, keep that stream running for the required watch duration, and then check their in-game mailbox or the registered email inbox for the reward. Drops are distributed per Twitch account, so sharing a household Twitch login between multiple NTE accounts will only credit the bound account.

The watch-time threshold has varied by campaign. The original Containment Test drops used a cumulative timer of roughly thirty minutes of concentrated viewing, while the Round 2 Co-Ex Test campaign added tiered milestones where additional watch time unlocked extra entries into the prize pool. A launch-window event is expected to use a similar tiered structure, with the first tier awarded at a short watch duration to capture casual viewers and higher tiers rewarding dedicated fans.

The Twitch directory for NTE is available at twitch.tv/directory/category/nte. Any streamer broadcasting under that category counts, not only partnered or featured creators, which means community streamers and smaller channels can be used to complete drop quests.

Account Linking

Account linking is a one-time setup that ties a Twitch login to a Perfect World Games account. Once linked, rewards earned through any current or future Twitch Drops campaign automatically deliver to the bound game account. The process is handled on an event page hosted on nte.perfectworld.com rather than inside the Twitch platform itself.

Past campaigns have required the following steps:

• Create or sign in to a Perfect World Games (PWG) account using the same email that will be used at launch.

• Visit the official Twitch Drops event page published by Perfect World for the current campaign.

• Click the Twitch authorization button and grant the event site permission to read your Twitch account identity.

• Confirm the binding on the event page. A successful link displays the bound Twitch handle alongside the PWG nickname.

• Repeat the linking flow only if the event page explicitly calls for a new campaign-specific binding, otherwise the original link persists.

One Twitch account can only be linked to a single PWG account, and the binding cannot be moved to a different PWG account during an active campaign. Players planning to use multiple platforms at launch should link the Twitch account to the PWG account they consider their main, since rewards follow the PWG login rather than the specific device or client.

Expected Launch-Window Rewards

No official reward list has been published for a launch-window campaign. The table below summarizes the types of items that have appeared in previous NTE promotions and in comparable Perfect World Games Twitch Drops campaigns, and that would fit the existing launch reward structure announced during pre-registration. All rows are marked anticipated until the studio publishes an event page.

Past NTE Twitch Drops campaigns during the beta testing period awarded closed beta access rather than in-game currency, because the game had not yet launched. With NTE live from April 29, 2026, the natural pivot is from access giveaways to in-game currency, gacha resources, and cosmetics, which is the reward shape used by every comparable live-service gacha title during launch promotions.

How to Claim Expected Launch Rewards

If a launch-window campaign follows the standard NTE pattern, the claim flow will look like this:

• Step 1: Link the PWG account to Twitch on the official event page before the campaign start time. Linking after the campaign has already begun means earlier watch time does not retroactively count.

• Step 2: Open any live stream in the Neverness to Everness Twitch category during the event window. The stream must be live rather than a VOD.

• Step 3: Keep the stream playing in an active browser tab or the Twitch app until the drop progress bar fills. Minimizing the tab is usually fine, but muting and putting the tab in the background for extended periods can stop watch-time accumulation depending on Twitch's idle detection.

• Step 4: Accept the drop when the on-screen notification appears in the Twitch inventory. Unclaimed drops expire from the Twitch side after the campaign ends.

• Step 5: Log in to Neverness to Everness and open the in-game mail. Rewards are delivered to the mailbox attached to the bound PWG account, usually within minutes of claiming on Twitch but occasionally within 24 hours for high-traffic events.

• Step 6: If the mailbox is empty after 24 hours, check the registered email inbox (including spam) for a delivery receipt, and contact Perfect World Games customer support with the PWG account ID, Twitch handle, and timestamps.

Players who plan to play on PlayStation 5 or mobile should make sure the PWG account used for the binding is the same account that will be signed in on those platforms. Twitch Drops rewards are not tied to a single device, but they are tied to the specific PWG login that authorized the Twitch binding, and switching PSN or Apple IDs does not change the PWG account.

Related Events and Cross-Promotions

Twitch Drops rarely run in isolation. During the Co-Ex Test, Perfect World Games ran a Twitch Drops co-streaming event in parallel with a social media milestones campaign and a pre-registration reward push, letting fans earn multiple streams of rewards from the same promotional window. A similar overlap is expected around launch.

Players interested in maximizing launch freebies should track several parallel channels at once:

Stacking these sources can meaningfully reduce the amount a launch-day player needs to spend on gacha pulls. Reviewers of the Co-Ex Test noted that combining pre-registration rewards with prior Twitch Drops and login bonuses produced enough Fabricated Dice for roughly a dozen free pulls before paying any real money.

Tips for a Successful Drops Session

• Link your accounts the moment the campaign page goes live. Waiting until the middle of the event wastes campaign hours and can cause the first drop tier to miss if the event uses a hard start timestamp.

• Use a dedicated Twitch window. Some browsers pause video playback in background tabs after a few minutes, breaking watch-time accumulation. A pinned browser tab or the Twitch desktop app is more reliable.

• Pick a high-bitrate stream you actually want to watch. Drops credit any stream in the NTE category, so there is no advantage to a specific streamer. Watching content you enjoy makes a multi-hour drop session far less tedious.

• Mute rather than close. Closing the tab resets watch-time tracking, but muting the tab with the audio icon is usually allowed and lets you work on other tasks.

• Double-check the mailbox after every tier. In-game delivery is not always instant. If the mailbox shows a reward, claim it promptly because some events expire unclaimed mail after the campaign closes.

• Avoid multi-accounting. Binding the same Twitch account to a second PWG account is not supported, and Perfect World Games has removed suspected multi-account rewards from prior campaigns.

• Follow the official channels during the livestream. Redeem Codes and Twitch Drops announcements are typically shown on screen during the Launch Preview Livestream. Tuning in live is the easiest way to catch them without relying on third-party aggregators.

Outlook After Launch

Beyond the launch window, future Twitch Drops are likely to align with seasonal patches, new character releases, and major festival events on the Hethereau calendar. Perfect World Games has run drops around every significant beta milestone, which suggests the studio views Twitch Drops as a standard part of its promotional toolbox rather than a one-off experiment. Players who link their PWG and Twitch accounts once should be able to reuse the same binding for every subsequent campaign without repeating the setup.
