Twitch is increasing channel subscription prices for the first time

  • Twitch is raising its subscription prices for the first time to keep pace with rising costs and reflect local currency fluctuations.
  • The first countries to see these changes are the UK, Canada, Australia, and Turkey.
  • From March 28, Tier 1 subscriptions and gift subs will be more expensive in the UK, Canada, and Australia.
  • In Turkey, all three tiers will see a significant price increase due to the plummeting value of the Turkish lira over the last 15 years.
  • These price changes only apply to subscriptions bought on the web, with updates on mobile apps expected in the coming months.
  • Streamers will maintain the same revenue share, so they’ll earn more from subscriptions in the affected countries.
  • Twitch also plans to update pricing in other countries later this year.
