Ninja revealed the news in a video that was a mock press conference of himself dressed as different people asking him questions about this big move. Perhaps most importantly, he was also asked a question by a case of Red Bull.Mixer is owned by Microsoft and, back in 2009, Ninja began his professional gaming career by playing Halo 3. With Halo Infinite launching alongside the next-generation Xbox, currently known as Project Scarlett, the potential evolution of this partnership between Mixer and Ninja could be an interesting one.Ninja, during his run on Twitch, broke many records for the streaming platform, including becoming the first Twitch streamer to reach 10 million followers and breaking the record, at the time, for concurrent viewers when he streamed Fortnite with Drake and others. Ninja's Mixer page is live now, with the title "LIVE from Lollapalooza — 8/2 at 12p CST." For a limited time, those who visit can claim a free month subscription to the ever-popular streamer. Subscribing earns viewers 22 customer Ninja emoticons and no ads.Ninja will be streaming daily from 9:30am CST to 6pm CST, although times are subject to change.As of this writing, the subscription button and verification badge for Ninja's Twitch channel have both been removed.In a statement given to Polygon, a representative from the streaming platform said "We’ve loved watching Ninja on Twitch over the years and are proud of all that he’s accomplished for himself and his family, and the gaming community. We wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.”While he may be switching platforms, Ninja will undoubtedly continue to play Fortnite, which just launched its 10th season (Season X) today with the B.R.U.T.E. mech suit, Rift Zones, Missions, and much more.
