Ninja announces exclusive partnership to stream on Mixer Ninja\/MixerTwitch superstar Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2018 Blevins announced a partnership with Microsoft\u2019s streaming platform Mixer, meaning he will be leaving Twitch. Ninja dropped the bombshell news in a bizarre video on August 1 where he announced he\u2019ll be exclusively streaming on Mixer, in a press conference with himself. He took questions from the crowd who were all versions of himself where he answered questions about what it means for his hair and gaming career. The partnership begins immediately which means he will no longer be on his Twitch channel and fans will need to follow him to Mixer if they want to keep with his livestreams. His sub button has since been removed from Twitch. Mixer is Twitch\u2019s closest competitor but it doesn\u2019t really come close to the viewership but perhaps this switch could be the shot in the arm that Microsoft needs. Exclusive streaming partnerships have become more commonplace with Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2018 Kjellberg announcing all of his streams will be on DLive instead of YouTube. Whether fans will be following Ninja over Mixer remains to be seen. He was by far the most followed Twitch channel with over 14 million followers and averaged close to 30,000 viewers per stream. Welcome @Ninja to the Mixer Community! We’re hyped to have you!:blue_heart: https:\/\/t.co\/sPeQ6bGdIl \u2014 Mixer (@WatchMixer) August 1, 2019 What will be interesting to follow is how many streamers decide to begin their streaming career on Mixer now that one of the most famous creators is there. It didn\u2019t seem to have much of an impact on Dlive\u2019s growth but that was a newer platform versus an established on in Mixer. Twitch gave a statement to The Verge about how they feel about his switch. \u201cWe\u2019ve loved watching Ninja on Twitch over the years and are proud of all that he\u2019s accomplished for himself and his family, and the gaming community,\u201d Twitch told The Verge. \u201cWe wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.\u201d Ninja spoke about what the move to Mixer meant for him in a follow-up to his announcement. \u201cI\u2019m honestly at a loss for words,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m really just excited to just finally\u2026 I feel like I\u2019m gonna get back to the streaming roots and that\u2019s what it\u2019s all about.\u201d If you go over to Ninja\u2019s Mixer channel right now, you\u2019re able to claim your first-month subscription for free as part of a promo. Ninja is streaming from Lollapalooza on August 2 so his debut stream has potential to be one for the record books.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
