Recent data from StreamElements shows a surge in viewer numbers and hours watched on Twitch. This growth could be attributed to the popularity of September subathons, where streamers take advantage of discounted subscription prices. Several members of FaZe Clan organized subathons, with many making it to StreamElements’ list of Top 10 Streamers for the month.
Based on data from Rainmaker.gg, gamers watched 1.653 billion hours in September, slightly lower than August’s 1.660 billion. However, daily hours watched increased from 54 million in August to 55 million in September. Games like World of Warcraft and Dota 2 experienced significant boosts in hours watched, and EA Sports FC 25 made it to the Top 10 games list.
Four FaZe Clan members made it to the top ten streamers for September, with each hosting subathons and streaming over 695 hours. StableRonaldo led the pack with 9.7 million hours watched.
Per Perry, CEO of StreamElements, noted, “Twitch experienced two significant highlights in September that fueled each other: a rise in daily hours watched and a reshuffling of its top streamer rankings. Members of FaZe Clan held simultaneous subathons, each lasting over 695 hours, propelling four creators into the top 10 for the first time, with Stableronaldo claiming the crown… FaZeClan members benefited by joining each other on stream, which could bolster the use of features like Stream Together that streamline the collaborative process.”
