Twitch, the leading live streaming platform for gamers and content creators, has announced an increase in its monthly membership price from $3.99 to $4.99. ( prices may be different in your country ) This change aims to enhance the services provided to users and support the platform’s growing community. Importantly, the revenue share for content creators remains unchanged, with streamers continuing to receive 50% of the membership fees. This means creators stand to earn more as a result of the price adjustment.
While the pricing for Tier 2 and Tier 3 memberships remains the same, the standard Tier 1 membership price hike underscores Twitch’s commitment to investing in better features and services for its users.
In addition to the price increase, Twitch has rolled out new tools designed to empower streamers in managing their communities more effectively. One of the key features is the ability to completely block banned users from viewing streams. This measure is intended to prevent harassment and unauthorized restreaming of content. Streamers can now also protect themselves from unwanted follow-bombing, ensuring a safer and more enjoyable experience for both creators and their audiences.
These updates reflect Twitch’s ongoing efforts to foster a positive and secure environment for its millions of users worldwide.
