At the end of June the news broke: Microsoft was abandoning Mixer and decided to bet on Facebook Gaming. It was major news, as it meant the closure of the platform for streaming Microsoft games and leaving the field open for competition, whether it was the aforementioned Facebook , Twitch or YouTube.
Since then, Mixer's hours were numbered The company would eliminate the Mixer function from the brand's consoles and the service would have to be finalized at the end of July, specifically on the 22nd of that month.A process that, however, has already begun, affecting for now the consoles that are part of the Insider Program.
The beginning of the end
Those users who integrate the Beta, Delta and Omega rings within the testing program, are seeing the Mixer functionality disappear from their Xbox as they begin to receive updates for each of their rings.
"In fact, in the updates that are being released, a note is common to all of them: users can see that some are missing Mixer functions on the console>"
In this case, they also warn that users who wish to continue using Mixer can do so until July 22>have to stop participating in the preview rings within the Xbox Program Insider."
Microsoft has left no trace of the service after the new update and even the control panel references have disappeared. Therefore, those affected must stop having the streaming of games via Mixer and must make the leap to Facebook Gaming
It must be remembered that to remedy this absence, current Mixer users will see how all the content and functions they used to use before are migrated to Facebook Gaming July 22, the date on which everything will come to an end and on which all content must be automatically redirected to the Facebook platform.
