Streaming Warfork's gameplay to Steam lets new players watch the live gameplay if they visit Warfork's store page. No software is mandatory for streaming to Store page, however it's possible to use OBS Studio (obsproject.com) if you want to stream in higher quality. This guide will cover both methods.
