Well, after implementing several impressive features, including a toxic free gaming environment, and bringing in a couple of big names like Ninja, Microsoft is finally pulling the plug on Mixer today.

Mixer goes offline today

Today, July 22, 2020, the Mixer streaming service is no more. According to the platform’s support page, Xbox One gamers can now switch to Twitch to stream their content. From today, you cannot renew your Mixer channel subscriptions. Also, you’ll get an Xbox gift card in place of any active subscription you have. One of the implications of the move to shut down Mixer is that the big shots that had exclusive deals with Microsoft can now join rivals like Twitch. In the same vein, users can create Facebook Gaming accounts to follow streamers that move to the streaming service. But there’s a current problem for Xbox One gamers wishing to switch to Facebook Gaming—the two platforms aren’t integrating anytime soon.  So, as a content creator, you’d have to first integrate your console with your PC. In a blow to viewers though, some Xbox One gamers aren’t too eager to begin streaming on the Facebook app for gaming. And they’ve made their feelings known on Reddit. One of them declares: Tell us how you feel about the merging of Mixer and Facebook Gaming in the comments section below.
