First Ninja, then shroud. Now Mixer is targeting Twitch\u2019s subscription prices.<\/p>
Streaming service Mixer changed its subscription prices today, dropping the cost from $5.99 to $4.99 to match rival platform Twitch.<\/p>

\u201cStarting today all subscriptions will now be changing from $5.99 to $4.99 going forward when subscribing to any of your favorite Partners,\u201d Mixer said.<\/p>
While Twitch holds the vast majority of hours watched among all streaming services, Mixer is supporting its partners by lowering sub prices by $1. This may help motivate other Twitch streamers to make Mixer their new home.<\/p>
The price change is likely a part of Microsoft\u2019s continued effort to tackle Twitch head-on<\/a> and make Mixer a staple in the streaming industry.<\/p>
The platform first allured Fortnite<\/em> star Ninja with a friendly contract that was accommodating to the streamer\u2019s growing brand. Microsoft then set it\u2019s eyes on FPS legend shroud, who announced his departure from Twitch<\/a> on Oct. 24 with an action he believes is \u201cthe best move\u201d for his career.<\/p>
The two streamers combined for over 21 million followers on Twitch. Their absence has likely left a hole in Twitch\u2019s hours watched, but the company still stands tall among competitors like YouTube and Facebook.<\/p>
After poaching top streamers and matching sub prices, one thing is clear\u2060\u2014Mixer\u2019s goal to equal Twitch isn\u2019t finished yet.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
