YouTube Game Streaming Sees Spike in Viewership

YouTube Gaming has seen a spike in their viewership during the month of September as many streamers are finding their groove on the YouTube platform, according to a brand new report from StreamElements and Stream Charts.

Per the report, live streaming game content hours watched on Youtube saw numbers jumping 42% to 434 million for September. Additionally, Youtube’s non-gaming related content saw total live content hours watched on the site reaching 2.7 billion.

It’s important to note that StreamElements switched its analytics partner for the September report from Rainmaker.gg to Streams Charts.

StreamElements commented, via GamesIndustry.biz, stating – “Analytic sites track hours watched at different times during any given minute so peaks and valleys can make results vary,” the representative said. “Even with these variances, most results are consistent when it comes to whether or not a platform rose or dropped in overall hours watched.”
