Twitch Prime will soon be available within Australia

Twitch Prime will soon be available within Australia, the popular streaming service today declared.

Available from 9 June, the service is linked to Amazon Prime and includes the following benefits:

  • Free game content, like exclusive characters, boosts, skins, and more
  • Full games from indie developers
  • A Twitch channel subscription every 30 days
  • Ad-free viewing
  • An expanded set of chat emotes and colors, and an exclusive chat badge

Twitch Prime members will receive in-game content for PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS from 9 June. Subscribers can look forward to Twitch-themed jeans, a t-shirt and balaclava.

“Twitch Prime has grown dramatically since it was first introduced in September of 2016 in North America and Western Europe because it helps broadcasters attract subscribers, game developers reach more customers, and viewers get free digital loot, while helping to support their favorite channels,” said Ethan Evans, SVP of Commerce and Developer Success, Twitch. “Given its success, parts of our global community have been asking when it would be available in their regions. That day is today.”

Pricing for Australia has yet to be revealed, but existing members in the US and Canada currently pay $2.99 USD per month for the first six months and $5.99 USD thereafter.

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
