Microsoft has cut the monthly subscription price of its Mixer streaming service today to bring it in line with Amazon’s Twitch. Starting today all subscriptions will now be changing from $5.99 to $4.99 going forward, says Microsoft, providing tighter competition to the Twitch streaming service.
In the last year Microsoft has also poached a number of popular streamers from the Twitch platform luring away Michael ‘shroud’ Grzemiek and Cory ‘KingGothalion’ Michael with exclusive streaming deals and lots of cash. Mixer is a video game live streaming platform owned by Microsoft, with officially launched back in January 2016 as Beam, but was renamed to Mixer in May 25, 2017 as the Beam name could not be used globally.
