If you subscribe to Twitch channels from Twitch’s mobile app, you might have to pay a bit more starting in October.
Twitch announced on Wednesday that Tier 1 and gift subscriptions in more than 40 countries will have a higher price on the mobile app starting on October 1st. According to emails from Twitch shared by Dexerto and on Reddit, Tier 1 subscriptions will cost $7.99 per month, an increase from the current Tier 1 price on the app of $5.99 per month. The cost of Tier 2 and Tier 3 subscriptions will remain the same.
The July price hike, which affected subscriptions on the web, upped a Tier 1 subscription to $5.99 per month in the US, an increase of $1. (Once the new mobile price increase takes effect, subscribing via the app will once again be more expensive than on the web; like other companies, Twitch charges higher prices for subscriptions on mobile apps as a way to offset Apple’s and Google’s app store fees.)
Last year, in the US, Twitch increased the price of Twitch Turbo, its monthly subscription that removes ads, from $8.99 per month to $11.99 per month.
