🏆 Summer Game Fest 2026 Sets New Personal Bests (by, like, a lot) 🤯

‼️ The Q1 2026 Live-Streaming Trends Report Is Here ‼️

And big news: We're officially including TikTok Live data every quarter from now on 🎶

Super crucial, since if you include it, then TikTok Live accounted for almost half of all live-streaming viewership in Q1 2026! (with total hours watched hitting 17B)

But we go deeper too:

📺 Platform picture: TikTok Live's near-50% viewership share stands out, but TikTok Live actually dipped from Q4 2025 while other platforms rose to meet it.

🎮 Gaming shifts: New releases Resident Evil Requiem and Crimson Desert were the stand-out success of Q1, while World of Warcraft surged to the #8 game on live streaming thanks to its Midnight expansion.

🥜 Creator spotlight: ARC Raiders "PTuber" TheBurntPeanut rode the game's popularity to success, combining engaging content with a 24/7 channel strategy to become (by far!) the most watched creator this quarter.

We have in-depth insights on all these shifts, plus events, esports, and non-gaming content...

@fercardenete Seguramente no debería sorprenderme, porque es Twitter, pero sí me llama la atención teniendo en cuenta que tiene razón.

Especificamente, el costreaming de VALORANT creo que fue el inicio de todo.
