Facebook Gaming Sees Growth in Hours Watched in August

Facebook Gaming has been slowly building momentum since the shutdown of Mixer earlier this summer, as they have seen impressive results since taking in Mixer following the shutdown.

According to The Verge (via StreamElements), Facebook Gaming reached 346 million hours watched in the month of August, which is a million more than the month before.

Facebook Gaming has seen a whopping 179% increase year-over-year, which is boosting them closer to YouTube Gaming, which posted 461 million hours watched in April this year.

The platform can thank games such as Fall Guys and Among Us for the boost, as the two titles have been among the most-watched games across all major streaming platforms, including Twitch.

Following the shutdown of Mixer, streamers from the Microsoft platform were given an opportunity to move their brand to Facebook Gaming channels, although a number have since moved to Twitch.
