the collapses average viewership on Twitch, YouTube and Facebook. The major platforms have failed to hold onto the 2020-2021 figures, partly ‘doped’ for two years by the pandemic. This is according to a report by StreamLabs
On Twitch, the number of cumulative hours viewed by users has not changed compared to the last quarter of 2021, on the other hand there is a significant year-on-year decrease: -8.06% compared to Q1 2021.
Twitch stays ahead of the platform live streaming most widely used in the world. Of the 100 hours of live content viewed by users, 91.5 hours are spent on Twitch, at the expense of competing realities such as YouTube, Facebook and Trovo. The figure drops to 76% if we don’t look at the number of hours viewed, but at the number of unique viewers.
Compared to the peaks recorded at the beginning of the pandemic, Twitch has lost nearly 400 million watch hours Nevertheless, it also remains the only platform to grow in the past quarter. According to StreamLab, Twitch has managed to cut losses thanks to its new integration with Xbox consoles – which would have brought in new users – and thanks to the “Just Chatting” section.
Riot remains the most successful publisher on Twitch, thanks to games like League of Legends and Valorant. Rockstar also did well, with a total of 556 million watched hours.
