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.
