Twitch is the most used game streaming platform in the world. You can watch gameplay videos, stream your live gameplay, and do stuff related to gaming on this platform. Like YouTube Premium, Twitch also has its subscription called Twitch Prime for ad-free streaming and exclusive member features. With the Prime account, you will get more benefits than a normal user.
What is Twitch Prime
In August 2014, Amazon acquired Twitch for $970 million. Since then, a lot of new updates and changes have been released on the Twitch platform. One of the major new updates is Twitch Prime, which happened in Sep 2016. By getting Prime, you will get ad-free streaming, access to in-game content, channel subscription with special emoticons, a unique chat badge, access to free games, discounts on games, and more.
Since it is Amazon-owned, you can link your Amazon Prime or Prime Video account to get Twitch Prime. Without an Amazon account, you can’t create a Twitch Prime account. It is included with Amazon Prime in the US, Mexico, Australia, Austria, Japan, Italy, Netherlands, Singapore, France, UK, Germany, Canada, Belgium, and Spain. It is included with the Prime Video in 200 other countries.
