Twitch Reveals Plans For Local Subscription Pricing

In a new blog post, Twitch revealed that it is now planning to offer alternate subscription prices based on a user’s location. As a result of the change, subscribers in several countries will see the price for a Twitch Tier 1 subscription lowered to reflect that area’s cost of living. The first two countries that will see a change are Mexico and Turkey, but other countries will see similar changes in the future. According to Twitch, the number of active users that subscribe to streamers is significantly lower outside of the US. In Europe and Asia, it’s 50% less, while in Latin America, it’s 80%.

We’re rolling out one of the biggest changes in Twitch history, which will help creators build larger, more global communities: Local Subs Pricing.

The price of a sub in most countries will be lowered, starting with Mexico and Turkey.
