Microsoft owned streaming platform Mixer has reached 20 million active monthly users, which puts it 10 million above where it was six months ago.

The announcement was made as part of Microsoft's conference at E3 yesterday. 

Mixer recently celebrated its first birthday last month with a host of new updates and features rolling out for both new and existing users. The platform also unveiled a slick new website and a partnership with ESL.
