Q. For how long will these Twitch Drops be available?
A. These drops will be available on Twitch from July 30 at 10:00am PDT to August 20 at 4:59pm PDT.
Q. Where can I find Sponge Break streams on Twitch?
A. Right here: https://www.twitch.tv/directory/category/sponge-break
Q. Which channels and streams are eligible for these Drops?
A. Only channels that are streaming Sponge Break during the campaign window and have enabled our Sponge Break Twitch Drops will be eligible. Look for the "Drops Enabled" tag on Sponge Break streams.
Q. How can I check my progress towards earning drops?
A. While logged into your linked Twitch account, you can check your progress in chat by clicking on the "Drops & More" panel or by visiting your Twitch Drops Inventory.
Q. I'm watching a stream but my watch hours aren't progressing. Why?
A. This could be for a number of reasons. Make sure your Steam and Twitch account are linked correctly. Check to see if you're watching a channel that's streaming Sponge Break LIVE and has the Drops Enabled tag. Verify that the campaign is still active. And disable any ad blockers. You can also only progress one campaign at a time. Read THIS GUIDE for tips and tricks.
Q. Do I need to watch the same Sponge Break streamers to progress my watch time?
A. Nope! If they're streaming Sponge Break and have Drops Enabled, you're free to mix-and-match.
Q. Do automatic sub renewals on Drops Enabled Sponge Break channels count?
A. No. Only new 1-month, 3-month, and 6-month recurring subs or gifted subs (of any tier) will count towards unlocking the Golden Plunger. Free Prime subs, existing sub renewals, and sub tokens won't.
Q. Where can I find my rewards once unlocked and claimed on Twitch?
A. Once in game, head to a safehouse and talk with a Fashionista at the Sponge Fashion booth!
Q. I unlocked all my rewards but they're not appearing in game. Why?
A. First, check that you linked the right Steam account to your Twitch account. Next, make sure you claimed the items in your Twitch Drops Inventory. Last, make sure you're checking the right place in the game, specifically the Fashionista menu at the Sponge Fashion booth. Still having issues? Click here.
Q. Are these Drops time-limited? Will they ever return?
A. These are time-limited drops, available only between July 30 at 10:00am PDT and August 20 at 11:59pm PDT. We may offer these items as Twitch Drops again in the future, but that's TBD!
