![]() Together with you, we’ve found new ways of connecting developers and publishers with their fans. We want to create the very best place to share your gaming and life online, and that mission continues to guide us. Every day, we strive to live up to the standard set by you, the community. Your talent, your passion, your dedication to gaming, your memes, your brilliance – these have made Twitch what it is today. But what followed surprised us as much as anyone else, and the impact it’s had on both the community and us has been truly profound. The moment we launched, we knew we had stumbled across something special. It’s almost unbelievable that slightly more than 3 years ago, Twitch didn’t exist. In a an open letter, the CEO states that Twitch will remain seperate, but that now with Amazon’s resources, they aim to give us a better Twitch experience. But today we have confirmation that Amazon will be purchasing them. Rumors earlier this year had Google, or Youtube actually, buying the huge video-game streaming service. Twitter- CEO, Emmett Shear has confirmed that Twitch will in fact be bought by Amazon. They released a whole bunch more, in which you can get all the details in the video above. Microsoft also announced that they will be streaming their E3 Press Briefing in 4k Ultra HD, and for those with the proper setup, they can watch it on Mixer in a special edition broadcast with all kinds of goodies and digital bonuses for those who watch on that platform. Mixer is also getting its own Xbox One page on the dashboard, so starting today, for those who are Xbox Insiders, they will see a page full of streamers and streams all happening that they can get in on at the touch of a button. This will allow people to stream not just mobile games, but all kinds of other experiences as well. It is launching publicly on Android today and invite only through TestFlight on iOS. ![]() ![]() Microsoft is also Launching a Mobile app (currently in beta) called Mixer Create on iOS and Android to allow users to self broadcast on the go. So like the image above shows, you can have 4 different people, even spread across 4 different locations, all playing together and streaming for a centralized experience, they don’t even have to be playing the same game! Starting today, they are launching the ability for up to 4 streamers to combine their streams into a single Mixer page. One of the big things that they are touting with Mixer, is the ability to interact with streamers in almost real time, so compared with the 12-15 second delay on Twitch, Mixer is actually live.Īlso launching alongside the new name is Co-Streaming. They said that they felt that with the Beam name that they were unable to grow and expand into every market around the world, so they chose Mixer as their new name because it represents what they love about the service, how it brings people together. Well today they announced that they are changing the name from Beam, to Mixer. Since then they have added Beam into Windows 10, and Xbox One. Beam is a streaming service similar to Twitch, that last year was bought by Microsoft. ![]()
