Receiving DROPS rewards twice is not possible, as the system is designed to only reward the first account linked to your Twitch account, and Drops can only be claimed once per account. To understand the Twitch Drops system better and how it works, let’s dive into some frequently asked questions that can provide more insight into how Twitch handles drops and rewards for its users.

Troubleshooting

  3. Can you alt tab and still get Twitch drops? No, alt-tabbing doesn’t count, and if it’s open in another tab, it doesn’t count, if it’s minimized, it doesn’t count.

Stream and Account Management

  2. How do I claim old drops on Twitch? You can check on the progress you have earned towards any reward by going to your Drops Inventory page, where you’ll also be able to claim any Drops rewards that you did not claim while watching the channel.
  3. Can you sell Twitch drops? Any Twitch drop is just for your account, and you can’t sell them, but you can buy skins each week when they come out in the game and then sell them after the next week when the skins go into the Steam Market.

Watching and Earning Drops

  1. Can you get Twitch drops without the game? Yes, during the Drops campaign window, you’ll be able to watch and earn Drops without owning the game, but you’ll need to have a WB Games Account to earn your Drops.
  2. Can you get Twitch drops on different accounts? With how the Twitch Drops system works, you’ll only earn the rewards on the account you linked to recently, so if you linked Steam to Twitch and you watch streams, you’ll earn the item drop on Steam.
  3. Can you switch streamers for Twitch drops? Yes, you can easily switch the channel for Twitch Drops, but you’ll only be able to earn progress by watching one channel at a time, and Drops can only be earned by watching live streams.
