Fortnite is regularly the most viewed game on Twitch, and yesterday the battle royale from Epic Games gathered no less than six million viewers worldwide, including Twitch (1.5m) and Youtube (4.5m) platforms.
This is the first time the game has had so many concurrent viewers for an end-of-season event on the streaming platform. They broke records for views and requests on Twitch. There were so many people watching the event at the same time that Twitch crashed, and its direct competitor, Mixer, took the opportunity to break its own record.
This is an important figure, knowing that the most anticipated and most watched annual event for MOBA players — the 2019 League of Legends World Championship — was surpassed in a few minutes — while it had been at the top of the list for several days already. The end of Season 10 had gathered a lot of people, and now the wait for information about Chapter 2 is at its peak!
As expected, the event opening Season 11 was held at 11am on overcrowded servers. As a result, the servers became inaccessible while the screens showed a black hole. A downtime seems to be in progress.
