Valkyrae reveals YouTube is working on its own version of Twitch Prime and gifted subs YouTube \/ ValkyraeStreaming superstar Rachell \u2018Valkyrae\u2019 Hofstetter has teased that YouTube is working on its own version of Twitch Prime, as well as gifted subs. YouTube Gaming is gradually becoming the go-to platform for some of the world\u2019s biggest streamers including Warzone star DrDisrespect, 100 Thieves co-owner Valkyrae, and more recently, DrLupo and TimTheTatman. As the platform continues to grow, in-demand features like clips and subscriber-only chats have been added to keep up with Twitch, and now it seems as though a Prime-like membership is also in the works at YouTube. During a stream on September 22, Valkyrae discussed the features currently available on YouTube with her viewers and confirmed that the popular video platform is working on gifted subs and \u201csome sort of\u201d Prime membership. \u201cWe don\u2019t have a Prime yet,\u201d she said, \u201c[but] YouTube is working on gifted members and some sort of Prime that\u2019s not a Prime.\u201d Topic starts at 45:00 While there\u2019s no information about what this \u201cPrime that\u2019s not a Prime\u201d membership could include, we can look to the benefits offered by Twitch Prime \u2013 now officially known as Prime Gaming \u2013 as a jumping point of sorts. One of the main features included with Prime Gaming is that members get one Twitch channel subscription to use every month. Alongside that, there are also free games and in-game loot for titles like Genshin Impact. We\u2019ll have to wait and see whether YouTube\u2019s new Prime-inspired membership includes any of these features, or goes in a slightly different direction, but YouTube has shown in the past that it\u2019s listening to viewer requests. Back in May, YouTube launched subscriber-only chat in an attempt to keep up with its rival Twitch, with Global Head of Gaming Ryan \u2018Fwiz\u2019 Wyatt teasing that more highly-requested features will be coming soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
