On July 22nd, Microsoft is shutting down its Mixer service, prompting numerous partners and streamers to migrate to Facebook Gaming. With this surprise announcement, Mixer partners and streamers will be transitioned to Facebook Gaming immediately, and Microsoft will no longer operate Mixer as a service in a month’s time.

After that, Mixer will be fully acquired by Facebook Gaming, becoming one of the most popular Twitch competitors in terms of view hours.

Microsoft announced on June 22, 2020, that Mixer would be discontinued on July 22, 2020, owing to a poor market share and inability to grow in comparison with similar services.
