INSIGHTS

 
Last week, Grand Theft Auto V, a 5-year-old title, was the 3rd most watched game on Twitch. The sudden rise in popularity stems from a game mod called “GTA V RP,” where gamers role play as fictional characters. Top streamers have flocked to this game world creating a sitcom style content around their fictional avatars. Our insights explore viewership and engagement on Twitch. 
  • RP could be the new meta of Twitch: Since RP took to the mainstream, GTA V’s weekly hours watched and peak CCV has increased by 76.9%.
  • RP engagement is focused on the top streamers: Audiences of GTA V sent 15.4M messages over the past week, roughly 20% of those messages were sent on the top 5 channels.
  • Viewership & engagement: Although Forsen and GreekGodX generated 5.5M less hours watched than the top 3 GTA V streamers, their audiences sent 700K more messages.
