According to a new report, Grand Theft Auto V viewership on Twitch has tripled to reach 523 million in 2019, up from 138 million in 2018. According to State of the Stream 2019, created by StreamElements and Arsenal.gg , the report shows major changes in viewership among streamers, platforms, and games over the past year. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is no longer in the top 10. Previously, PUBG had 416 million views in 2018. This year, the game lost to Hearthstone’s 217 million viewers (ranked 10th) so it is no longer on the list. Note that these figures are recorded from Twitch, the most popular game streaming platform today.
League of Legends regained its No. 1 spot from Fortnite, increasing from 929 to 990 million, while Fortnite dropped from 1.2 billion to 884 million. This could be 159 million followers of Teamfight Tactics and gradually being attracted to the main game.
The rise of Grand Theft Auto V can be attributed to the contribution of major streamers when participating in the GTA V roleplay. The GTA V roleplay started in 2017, but has only really caught on. You can do a lot of things in the game. For example, you can form a guild or pretend to be a vampire.
