In a PUBG match, making it into the top 10 comes with intense emotions: the circle's shrinking and you've got your head on a swivel looking for movement anywhere around you. HypeZone lasers in on that intensity through a channel that shows viewers only the final moments of action; a lot of folks are calling it RedZone for PUBG. Here's what it does.

HypeZone switches between Mixer streamers closest to winning the coveted Chicken Dinner, hosting the streamer until they either win or die. This gives viewers the opportunity to discover streamers of all levels during the most intense moments of the game.
Whether a team is Co-Streaming a calculated squad assault or a player is streaming a solo run to hundreds of viewers, HypeZone knows the distance between the players and the win, plus with Hosting 2.0, Mixer has made it easy to follow those featured and cheer them on.
For the streamers, they will accrue all the views associated with their time on HypeZone, along with the added surprise visit of potentially hundreds of extra viewers when being featured.
