Amazon renames Twitch Prime to Prime Gaming


After four years, Twitch Prime is no more. Instead, the premium version of Twitch membership has been renamed to Prime Gaming, to better fit in with the lineup of Amazon’s other Prime services.

Twitch Prime is part of the many benefits that Amazon Prime members receive, including Prime Music and Prime Video. But because it had a completely different name, Twitch Prime did not exactly appear in the list of benefits of the company, and did not have the same association that other products and subscriptions have. With the new Prime Gaming name, the service should just fit into a list of benefits of Amazon Prime.

Other than the name, nothing else changes about the service. Prime Gaming will offer the same free games and in-game exclusive items as Twitch Prime, and the free subscription to one Twitch channel per month that many Prime members – and streamers – enjoyed. Prime Gaming members can visit the service page on Amazon to see all the in-game benefits currently available.
