Twitch video content has expanded into a variety of categories over the years with the introduction of the 2021 Whirlpool section.

On top of that, the streaming site has tons of other things to offer, like game streams, tutorials on all kinds of things, and even sports and award-winning events — to name a few.

Twitch has made steady progress despite streamers boycotting the video platform on September 2.

Although these game titles have been years away since their debut, it turns out that they are still the top favorites of Twitch users.

It is worth noting that “GTA V” got 2.1 billion viewing hours, while “LOL” got 1.8 billion viewing times. Meanwhile, “Fortnite” still has 1 billion hours of viewership booked.

Facebook Gaming Viewership Increase

Elsewhere, it is learned that Facebook Gaming has surpassed Twitch in terms of growth, with a 47% increase this year from 2020.

However, it should be noted that the superiority of Meta’s streaming platform doesn’t far outweigh Twitch’s performance.

Although Facebook is growing in terms of growth rate, its growth equates to a cool 5.3 billion hours, which is a far cry from Twitch’s growth of 24 billion viewers.

But even so, it’s impressive progress for Facebook Gaming. Back on October 27th, its views have already surpassed even the YouTube game.
