They began collecting data from all live channels, instead of the top 100 channels for each game. Please note: In January 2019, Newzoo implemented a change to its YouTube data collection methodology. 28.5% less Fortnite content was watched in 2019.Riot Games was the most-watched publisher of 2019 across all platforms, beating Epic Games by 25.1 million hours.Mixer also has more than triple the number of unique channels compared to YouTube Gaming Live. Mixer has nearly the same number of unique channels streaming on the platform as Twitch.Mixer more than doubled its number of hours watched and streamed when comparing 2019 to 2018.

Last quarter, YouTube Gaming Live was the only platform to see an increase in hours watched, streamed, and concurrent viewership.

The total hours watched on YouTube Gaming Live increased by 46% from Q1 to Q4 in 2019 and accounted for 27.6% market share in terms of hours watched for Q4, up 7% since last quarter.

Twitch is still leading but experienced an overall decline in 2019.

However, this quarter it seems the culmination of many streamers moving platforms has had an effect on Twitch. In fact, the hours watched on the platform increased. In November, Jack “CouRageJD” Dunlop announced that he would be streaming exclusively on YouTube Gaming Live, and Jeremy “Disguised Toast” Wang announced that he would be leaving Twitch to stream exclusively on Facebook Gaming.Īs we saw last quarter, Ninja’s move alone appeared to have a small impact on Twitch in Q3. He was joined soon after by Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek. It didn’t take long for others to follow suit. In Q3, Ninja made the bombshell announcement that he will be streaming exclusively to Microsoft’s Mixer. Powered by Newzoo data, this article is a collaboration between Newzoo and Streamlabs.
