A week after launch, Crash Team Rumble is struggling on Twitch
The game, released on June 20, is a multiplayer spin-off of the Crash Bandicoot series in which two teams of four players compete to get the most Wumpa Fruit.
However, as noted by Video Gamer, the total number of Twitch users watching Crash Team Rumble stream at any time is so low that it often sinks to double figures (at the time of writing, it’s 40).
Stats provided by Twitch Tracker suggest that the game has had an average of 316 viewers over the past seven days, but this is likely to drop in a couple of days because it takes into account a two-hour period on June 24 where the viewer count rocketed to a peak of 12,174, presumably because a high-profile streamer decided to play it.
Since then, the game’s viewer count has rarely climbed above triple figures, and frequently drops to double figures.
Twitch Tracker says the game is currently the 377th most watched game on Twitch, based on average viewers in the last seven days.
This puts it lower than such titles as Super Bunny Man, Planet Coaster, The Callisto Protocol and the original Grand Theft Auto.
By comparison, other recently released titles appear to be faring better on Twitch.
Aliens: Dark Descent, the RTS released on the same day as Crash Team Rumble, currently has an average of 4,610 viewers over the past week (and was sitting at around 2,200 viewers while this article was written, compared to Crash Team Rumble’s 40).
Similarly, F1 23 has a weekly average of 4,714 and Final Fantasy 16 has an average of 50,605.
Given that the above titles are mainly single-player affairs and Crash Team Rumble’s gameplay revolves around online multiplayer, it could be argued that attracting an online viewership is important for the continued success of the game.

Runts for one its more so for kids and not a game you can sit on for a long long time

Mario350 well for starters twitch streamers is the reason games are dead, why buy a game when you can watch a streamer play it for you instead,
also the game wasnt good at all, doesnt even play like a crash game and its always online so thats another reason.
as for twitch if its not in the top 10 games it wont be played because just like on steam they dont like playing different games.
True why play it and possibly get passed off when you can just watch someone better than you play it for free
