SOOP is teaming up with Nexon to build a new ecosystem that connects streamers, users and games.
SOOP said it will begin a preseason for “N-CONNECT,” a streamer-focused program, starting on the 27th. The rollout includes an account-linking service that connects the two companies’ activity data in real time.
N-CONNECT is designed to tie together streamers’ content activity, user participation and in-game experiences. Centered on Nexon titles, it aims to expand viewing and participation so users and streamers can interact more naturally.
Streamers who join will operate as “N-Connectors,” broadcasting Nexon games and engaging with viewers. Participants can receive content support funds, drops and special goods, with rewards structured around three pillars — activity, growth and impact — to encourage sustained participation.
Any streamer who broadcasts on SOOP can take part. Streamers who log at least 10 hours in Nexon game categories will receive N-CONNECT special goods. SOOP and Nexon will also run promotional support to help general streamers grow.
Benefits are also planned for users. Those who link their Nexon game accounts with SOOP accounts can receive rewards such as drops-event items and Nexon Cash. The companies said they will gradually expand in-game benefits and other participation events during the preseason.
The N-CONNECT preseason will run for about five months, through September. SOOP and Nexon said they plan to refine the program based on participation data and feedback from users and streamers, then expand it into an official season.
A SOOP official said the companies plan to keep strengthening a participation-based ecosystem that combines game content and live streaming, starting with N-CONNECT.
