Amazon the owners of Twitch will presumably re-brand Twitch Prime into Prime Gaming in order to allow more opportunities for streamers to grow their viewership.

It as a streaming platform mainly focuses on video game live streaming. Twitch also hosts live esports tournaments that reach millions of live viewers.
Amazon bought Twitch back in august of 2014 for US$ 970 Million. Since that time the popularity of Twitch just keeps growing each year. Twitch does not have any real rival at this point in terms of live streaming service. Some of its competitors are Youtube Gaming, Facebook Gaming, DLive, etc. None of them are that close in terms of live-stream viewership. Another competitor of Twitch was Mixer which shut down last month and is now a part of Facebook Gaming.
