Since its launch in 2020, Genshin Impact has proved extremely popular. The free-to-play title that blends AAA production with mobile gaming gacha mechanics has been a massive success for developer miHoYo, despite accusations pre-release of being a clone of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
Now, data from Safe Betting Sites, a site which measures hours watched on Twitch, has released information from June that Genshin's viewership grew by 57%.
This amounts to 16.8 million hours broadcast -- only surpassed by October 2020, its launch month, where 32 million hours were shown.
This makes it clear that Genshin Impact is not only a record-breaking revenue hit, but is also popular with those who prefer to watch it from the sidelines.
The site notes that a peak of more than 500,000 viewers was reached in June, and that the figures have increased in July and August since the introduction of Inazuma.
Two new islands of Inazuma are unlocked in the latest Genshin Impact update, 2.1. Here's what you need to know about them.
