Ninja dropped the bombshell news in a bizarre video on August 1 where he announced he'll be exclusively streaming on Mixer, in a press conference with himself.

He took questions from the crowd who were all versions of himself where he answered questions about what it means for his hair and gaming career.

The partnership begins immediately which means he will no longer be on his Twitch channel and fans will need to follow him to Mixer if they want to keep with his livestreams.

Mixer is Twitch's closest competitor but it doesn't really come close to the viewership but perhaps this switch could be the shot in the arm that Microsoft needs.

Exclusive streaming partnerships have become more commonplace with Felix 'PewDiePie' Kjellberg announcing all of his streams will be on DLive instead of YouTube.

Whether fans will be following Ninja over Mixer remains to be seen. He was by far the most followed Twitch channel with over 14 million followers and averaged close to 30,000 viewers per stream.

What will be interesting to follow is how many streamers decide to begin their streaming career on Mixer now that one of the most famous creators is there.

It didn't seem to have much of an impact on Dlive's growth but that was a newer platform versus an established on in Mixer.

If you go over to Ninja's Mixer channel right now, you're able to claim your first-month subscription for free as part of a promo.

Ninja is streaming from Lollapalooza on August 2 so his debut stream has potential to be one for the record books.
