Despite launching in the second week of February, Lost Ark still beats League of Legends and GTA V in viewership on Twitch, which makes its massive launch all the more impressive.
Lost Ark’s record release was the second best in Twitch history, helping even streaming stars like Asmongold break their own records.
However, as with New World, there were concerns that these numbers would drop once the insanity wore off, which certainly didn’t happen.
In fact, Lost Ark continued to shine throughout February, racking up millions of hours of viewership and hundreds of thousands of viewers, beating a few big names in scrolling to take the top spot on the Twitch rankings.
Lost Ark was one of the biggest launches in Twitch history.
according to solignumTwitch viewers watched Lost Ark for 146 million hours in February. This game has been broadcast for 2.3 million hours, with an average of 220,000 viewers across all streams with a peak viewership of 1.3 million.
For comparison, the game generated 10 million more watch hours than League of Legends and 15 million hours more than GTA 5.
Although the average viewership was only 20,000, the audience peak was respectively double and triple that of the other major games of the platform.
The Lost Ark launch was more successful than the New World launch.
However, the most surprising factor is that the game came out only three weeks ago and has already toppled some of the giants that New World was a far cry from when it launched. end of september 2021.
Now it will be interesting to see if Lost Ark can match that performance in March, especially as Elden Ring climbs the charts. At launch, FromSoftware’s new title surpassed everything on Twitch, including League of Legends, GTA 5, and even Just Chatting.
