In a recentblog poston Twitch, the Amazon-owned platform is going to up subscription costs for the above countries. Beginning March 28, Tier 1 subs will now be increased, except in Turkey, which will see all three tier prices rise. By quite a significant amount, I should add.
📢 Starting March 28, we’re updating sub and gift prices on web in Australia, Canada, the UK, and Turkey.🔴 We’ll be live today, Feb 20 at 10am PT on Twitch to discuss the change and You can learn more about the decision and details in our blog post:https://t.co/ejkPzMXVgK
Possibly more price increases coming?
As for whether this will roll out to the US and other countries, it’s hard to say at this point. It sounds like Twitch is implementing it in the UK, Canada, Australia, and Turkey first on a sort of trial basis. If it works out to be beneficial, then we could see it come to other nations.
It’s also important to note those days, as Twitch says, “you’ll keep earning the same amount per Prime sub as you do today until June 3rd when [Twitch will] switch to the published, per country payout rates.” It’s definitely worth reading through everything and watching the posted video if you feel these developments will affect you.
