As part of their tenth anniversary, Guild Wars 2 Twitch drops have been turned on to let you score some free new gear in ArenaNet’s classic MMORPG. Here’s how to claim them for yourself.

Following the release of End of Dragons, Guild Wars 2 is back in style, luring players back into the ever-expanding world of Tyria by throwing open the gates to Cantha, a technological paradise nestled amid the cherry blossoms.

ArenaNet’s classic MMORPG will also be coming to Steam after a decade-long wait, allowing players old and new to dive into the fray and explore.

The Steam release is part of the game’s tenth anniversary celebrations, and is accompanied by a Twitch campaign that sees a plethora of Guild Wars 2 Twitch drops up for grabs. Here’s how you can get involved and pick some up for yourself.
