About Captain.tv

Captain.tv is a game development studio that creates interactive, free-to-play games designed for streamers on platforms like Twitch and YouTube to play with their viewers. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in San Francisco, the company was formerly known as Stream Captain. The platform aims to deepen audience engagement by transforming passive viewing into active participation.

The company's first game, "Stream Raiders," launched in 2020 and is a battle game where the streamer acts as the 'Captain' leading their viewers in raids. This was followed by other titles, including "Stream Pirates" and "Nitro: Stream Racing," a racing game. The business model enables streamers to generate revenue directly through the games via in-game purchases, such as cosmetic skins, which viewers can buy for themselves or gift to others in the community. This provides an alternative income stream for content creators.

In October 2021, Captain.tv announced it had raised $10 million in a Series A funding round to develop new streamer-led games. The platform also offers a downloadable PC application, the Captain Hub, which allows streamers to launch games and manage their community and revenue. In early 2023, the company announced layoffs and the decision to pause development on its game "Stream Pirates" to focus resources on the growth of "Nitro: Stream Racing".
