Players who broadcast live gameplay of Titanfall ahead of tomorrow’s North American launch risk being banned from streaming service Twitch.

In a notice on the streaming service’s website, Twitch said that those who broadcast Titanfall before 12:01am EST tonight without “express written permission” from Respawn face a “DMCA [Digital Millennium Copyright Act] suspension”.

Multiple people are thought to have attempted to stream the game over the weekend after it ended up in some players’ hands days before release.

The game is also reported to be on general sale in United Arab Emirates along with Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes – over one week ahead of that game’s release.

Titanfall launches on Xbox One and PC in North America tomorrow, March 11 and in the UK this Friday, March 14. An update to the Xbox One Twitch app which lets players broadcast directly via their console is expected to roll out worldwide tomorrow.
