Hasan Piker Aims to Grow Gaming Viewership on Twitch
Hasan Piker, a renowned political commentator on Twitch, is determined to increase his gaming viewership on the popular video game streaming platform. With his daily streams attracting over 40,000 viewers, Hasan has set a New Year’s resolution to include more gaming content in his streams. However, he acknowledges that he still has a long way to go.
Challenges in Growing Gaming Viewership
Despite his success in the political game, Hasan faces difficulties when he transitions to gaming during his streams. His viewership numbers take a dip during these gaming sessions. Recently, he has ventured into the world of FPS by playing VALORANT with fellow streamers Valkyrae and Sykunno. In the past, he has also played other single-player games.
Comparing Viewership Data
According to data from Sully Gnome, Hasan spends significantly more time in the Just Chatting category, where he discusses current events and political news, than in VALORANT. In the last month, he spent 193 hours in Just Chatting and only 51 hours playing VALORANT. His average viewership in Just Chatting is much higher at 35,799 viewers compared to 19,333 viewers for VALORANT.
Expanding Reach Through Gaming
While Hasan’s viewership drop-off in gaming is noticeable, his commitment to VALORANT marks a significant step into the gaming world. In 2022, it was his most played game on stream, with other notable games being Elden Ring, Pokémon Arceus, and God of War. Despite experiencing a decline in viewership when gaming, Hasan’s main goal is to expand his reach and educate more people through his content.
