Tools and services around building and uploading mods will remain unaffected. The CurseForge mod manager for gamers will transition away from the Twitch client, and will become a standalone desktop app, as part of Overwolf's offering of apps. Overwolf is dedicated to helping in-game creators earn a living, and this same level of commitment will now be transferred to mod authors by providing the technology, community, and resources to take professional in-game creation to new levels.
Overwolf has successfully supported the growth of professional developers in their pursuit of building incredible apps. With over 30,000 creators and a library of over 90,000 game mods and apps, Overwolf's mission is to be the home for in-game creators, who develop amazing experiences that enhance games and improve performance for the gamer.
This strategic business move marks Overwolf's aggressive expansion in the market beyond in-game apps into game mods, and positions the company as the category leader. J- Overwolf, the all-in-one platform that enables creators to build, distribute, and monetize in-game apps, today announced their acquisition of CurseForge from Twitch.
