Razer acquired the assets of StreamElements, the largest cloud-based platform for live streamers, in a deal with Live Momentum Ltd, the service's former holding company. The move folds one of the most widely used creator toolsets, custom overlays, on-stream alerts, chatbots, tipping pages, and sponsorship management, into Razer's push to build a broader software and services ecosystem for content creators.
Under the terms of the purchase agreement, Razer acquired substantially all of the assets used to run the StreamElements business, including intellectual property rights, platform data, know-how, and business records, rather than the StreamElements corporate entity itself. Razer did not disclose the purchase price. Live Momentum Ltd. keeps responsibility for the business's pre-closing debts and liabilities, and part of the payment to Live Momentum Ltd. has been set aside to cover outstanding payments owed to creators from before the deal closed.
Razer said StreamElements will keep operating as a standalone platform under a Razer subsidiary, with the same team, tools, and product roadmap in place for the millions of creators who use it. Existing account logins, overlays, and integrations with OBS, Streamlabs, and platforms including Twitch, YouTube, Kick, and X continue unchanged. The one required action for users is accepting an updated StreamElements privacy policy that reflects the new ownership, effective August 1, 2026.
Min-Liang Tan, Razer's co-founder and CEO, said the acquisition builds on the company's existing creator programs: "Content creators and live streamers are an integral part of the Razer community, and they have been for a very long time." Or Perry, StreamElements' co-founder and CEO, said StreamElements "could not be in better hands," calling the deal the right step for the millions of streamers who use the platform every month.
Razer said it plans to explore deeper integration between StreamElements and its Chroma RGB lighting, Razer Gold and Silver, and Razer ID systems over time, connecting stream events such as follows, subscriptions, and donations to on-device lighting effects, though the company has not set a timeline for when any of those features might ship.
