Stats show that last year was another good one for the Internet's most popular gaming livestream platform. Twitch's 2015 report reports that the service enjoyed 550,000 concurrent users on any given day and hit a peak of almost 2.1 million viewers during the period of eSports finals last summer.
Footage wise broadcasters streamed 241,441,823,059 minutes worth of footage last year and Twitch also beat their Youtube rival on the monthly minutes watched per viewer, with 421.6 monthly minutes per viewer while Youtube managed only 291. Twitch's position could only have been aided by its eSports presence, established userbase and the debute of its Twitchcon convention.
Games-wise the most watched games of the year were as follows:
- 1. League of Legends
- 2. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
- 3. Dota 2
- 4. Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft
- 5. Minecraft
- 6. H1Z1
- 7. Destiny
- 8. World of Tanks
- 9. World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor
- 10. FIFA 15
And of course, gamers used Twitch to raise $17,400,000 for 55 different charities throughout the year.
Seems like Twitch continues to be the powerhouse in the world of gaming livestream platforms.
