News Brief: Mixer, Microsoft’s live game streaming service, has reached 20 million monthly active users. That’s up from 10 million six months ago. Microsoft said a majority of the growth is from mobile users. Mixer, which rolled out new updates last month on its one-year anniversary, competes with Twitch, the Amazon-owned streaming service that has more than 100 million users.
