Cutting room floor

The Deluxe Edition provides instant access to the Cutting Room Floor, and Standard Edition players can unlock it by completing their first playthrough.
Twitch Integration

Frank Stone's casting It introduces the new Twitch integration, which allows viewers to see all of the game's options, overlaid directly on a stream. For Twitch partners, this will be done through polls, and for non-partners, it will use chat. Viewers can actively vote on choosing a streamer, with the majority deciding the character's next actions.
That doesn't mean they have complete control over the outcome: the streamer will have access to a limited number of “vetoes,” which can override viewer voting.
