Mixer has announced two new ways for its creators to earn, utilizing similar methods as its competitor.  Soon, users will be able to tip their creators, removing the reliance on third-party services.

However, Microsoft has no set rule on how viewers can tip, and won't force streamers to use it if they don't want to.

The second addition is Mixer Direct Purchase. When Mixer Partners are playing a game, a buy link will appear below their stream, where viewers can purchase directly. Of course, streamers will get a percentage of the sale.

There will also be changes to the company's PUBG channel, HypeZone, based on user feedback.

Finally, to celebrate the new year, Microsoft has launched three emotes. A lightning bolt, 2018, and Mixer heart are now available globally.

“To everyone in the Mixer community: THANK YOU!” said founder James Boehm. “We appreciate the energy, passion and welcoming attitude that you bring to the Mixer community every day.”
