Fortnite Has Become the Most Watched and Streamed Game On Twitch

4.3
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds may have been the top dog in the Battle Royale arena for a while there, but clearly it’s time for Epic Games’ Fortnite to shine.

Hot off the news reports from Good Morning America and other outlets discussing the “Fortnite Craze”, the game’s popularity has continued to soar, and a new report from Fortnite Intel suggests its popularity has taken over Twitch in a huge way.

With the statistics, provided by SullyGnome, the report reveals that Epic Games’ hit multiplayer game has become the most watched and streamed game on Twitch, beating out the likes of League of Legends, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Overwatch and, yes, PUBG.

The stats indicate that over the past 14 days, the game has been watched a grand total of 4,882 years and 208 days (over the last two weeks, again), and it has been streamed for a total of 246 years and 231 days. That’s a lot of time.

And it’s also double of what PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has managed to accomplish. Its watch time has only been 2,521 years and 277 days over the last two weeks, and about 106 years and 194 days in streaming time.

Mainly due to awesome streamers like ninja & myth. Truly one of the top games in history ever played!

Xbox Not going to lie I have been enjoying this game even though I am no good at it.


Its a game you can enjoy even if you're bad at it. Usually its 10x better with friends though.

Mickers Must be the only one who doesn't enjoy it.


I've only played it a handful of times not my cup if tea either.

Best game released in a long time. So addicting. Outshines PUBG as you can actually build and move about and have proper gunfights.

PUBG is more for those who need to hide it out to get wins.. Fornite is more confrontational. Plus it looks MUCH better and runs MUCH better. No competition. Stats show that.

I am right with you man. Too cartoony for me honesty.


Same, I prefer even h1 in its current state, which isn't a good state (original was better). I always play pubg with friends rather than Fortnite as it's just eh

I absolutely love this game, I'm on it for hours every night. I'm awful at it, but it's a lot of fun. Especially have a good Battle Royale game for us console users now.
