Twitch Prime is just one of the many benefits of paying for Prime, in addition to two-day shipping, access to Prime Video, and - after Amazon’s acquisition of Whole Foods - in-store grocery discounts as well. In April, Amazon increased the cost of its annual Prime plan from $99 to $119 CEO Jeff Bezos announced that same month that Prime now has 100 million paying subscribers.
Amazon bumped monthly Prime membership fees by 18 percent back in January to $12.99 a month. Twitch still does not offer Twitch Prime as a standalone service, likely because Amazon wants Prime to continue looking like a good deal even as it raises the monthly and annual cost. After that, the only way to get ad-free viewing will be to subscribe to Twitch Turbo, which is a separate tier of service that costs $8.99. The September cutoff will be for new Twitch Prime subscriptions. Users with Twitch Prime activated, which basically means anyone who’s linked their Amazon Prime account to their Twitch account, will still get to enjoy ad-free viewing until October 15th.
