Twitch Prime goes global with exclusive gear in PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS

For the first time ever, gamers in over 200 countries and territories can join Twitch Prime and get exclusive gear in PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS!

You asked and we delivered! Since the launch of Twitch Prime, there have been a lot of requests from eager Twitch fans about making Twitch Prime available in more countries. Well, that time has finally come: Twitch Prime is now available in over 200 countries and territories!

To celebrate this launch, starting June 9th, Twitch Prime members around the globe will have access to exclusive Twitch-themed apparel in one of the most watched games on Twitch: PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS. If you’re not a Twitch Prime member yet, go here to start a free trial and get your loot.

What will you get with Twitch Prime?

Most of you already know what Twitch Prime is, but for those that are new to the party, as a Twitch Prime member you get access to monthly free games, loot, and a host of other perks like ad-free Twitch viewing, custom emotes, special chat badges, and a free monthly channel subscription to give out to your favorite streamers. In the month of June, all Twitch Prime members across the globe will have access to the exclusive Twitch-themed apparel pack for PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS.

This pack will be available starting June 9th. As a Twitch Prime member, you get to rock exclusive Twitch-themed Battlegrounds items including a t-shirt, jeans, and balaclava​ (it’s pretty much an awesome face cap). If you’re not a Twitch Prime member, you can sign up for a free trial at twitchprime.com.

So, how do I get this?

If you are in one of our newly added countries or territories, you can get access to Twitch Prime through an Amazon Prime Video subscription in your country. What that means for you is, when you purchase an Amazon Prime Video subscription in a newly supported country or region, in addition to Amazon Prime Video benefits, you get Twitch Prime benefits at no extra cost! Amazon Prime Video benefits give you access to Amazon original content, exclusives and popular movies and hit TV shows. You can check out Prime Video and Twitch Prime right now at an introductory price of $2.99 (or €2.99) per month for the first six months and $5.99 (or €5.99) after.

Once you have an Amazon Prime or Prime Video account, you link it to your Twitch account and start taking advantage all the on-Twitch benefits: (ad-free Twitch viewing, custom emotes, special chat badges, and a free monthly channel subscription). As another plus, the free monthly sub lets you in on subscriber-only chat rooms (where available). Woot! To get started with Twitch Prime sign up for a free trial at twitchprime.com.

In countries where Twitch Prime has been available, like US, UK, Canada, Germany & Austria, France & Belgium, Italy and Spain, you get Twitch Prime by being an Amazon Prime member and then linking your Amazon and Twitch Prime accounts.
