  • Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) moves its game streaming service Mixer Create out of beta and to the masses to better take on Amazon’s Twitch, per Engadget.
  • Create improves upon the original Mixer with mobile game broadcasting from the phone itself with no added software or equipment. Gamers can also combine up to four streams in Co-Streaming for a single viewing experience.
  • Android functionality beats the iPhone, where Mixer Create users can only stream games supporting ReplayKit.
  • Twitch only updated its app to include live streaming in June but Amazon’s service still wins in user numbers.
  • Microsoft doesn’t disclose Mixer numbers but Twitch has existed for longer and has the stronger base. In its year-end review, Twitch boasted 2.2M total unique streamers in 2016 and 14.2B total chat messages sent. TechRadar reported earlier this month that Twitch has around 10M DAU.
