Stream Hatchet portal published Ranking of most watched matches live above Twitch, YouTube Gaming and Facebook Gaming In the first quarter of 2022, therefore As of 31 March 2022. In the first position, without major surprises, we find GTA 5/GTA Online, with Elden Ring and Lost Ark in sixth and seventh place, respectively. Below are the top 10 based on total watch hours:
- GTA 5/ Online – 534 million hours
- League of Legends – 517 million hours
- Valorant – 322 million hours
- Apex Legends – 252 million hours
- Fortnite – 247 million hours
- Elden Ring – 226 million hours
- Lost Ark – 205 million hours
- Minecraft – 185 million hours
- Garena Free Fire – 179 million hours
- CS: GO – 179 million hours
As Stream Hatchet noted, 80% of the top 10 most watched games were unchanged from the previous quarter. The only new entries are Elden Ring and Lost Ark.
That’s a great result for FromSoftware’s soul-like and Smilegate’s MMO, especially considering they started off at a disadvantage compared to the other games on the list: both came out in February, but the top 10 counts for viewing hours. January 1 – March 31, 2022. In short, they could probably even surpass Apex Legends and Fortnite (in fourth and fifth place) if they came out a few weeks earlier.
