Battlestate Games’ Escape from Tarkov saw the biggest boost — up 180% — amongst the top categories. The extraction shooter held its latest wipe event on December 27, 2023, resparking interest in the title. The biannual wipe events reset player progress, which invites new and lapsed players back to Tarkov. On top of this, the extraction shooter incentivized more viewership through Twitch drops to celebrate the new year.
