Announcing Twitch Turbo: Watch Games, Not Ads.

Today we’re excited to announce an all-new way to experience the Twitch content you love, seamlessly and without ads, all while still supporting your favorite broadcasters. It’s called Twitch Turbo, and for $8.99 per month you gain access to a number of exclusive features to enhance your Twitch experience:

• Ad-free Twitch: No pre-rolls, no mid-rolls, no companions, no display ads, and broadcasters still get paid. All you see are front-page takeovers.

• Exclusive Turbo Badge: A way to proudly show the community your passion for Twitch.

• Custom emoticon set: A Choice between the standard set and an all-new set of emoticons to express digital emotions

• Expanded chat colors: The ability to stand out from the crowd with Turbo-only chat colors.

• Priority Customer Support: A way to get into the front of the line when you need help.

This is just the beginning of what we hope to offer through Twitch Turbo, and we’re looking forward to seeing exactly what sort of benefits and enhancements the community would like to see, from viewers to broadcasters and beyond.
