Call of Duty: Warzone Takes on Fortnite as Most-Watched Battle Royale Game on Twitch
Call of Duty: Warzone has quickly risen to become the most-watched battle royale game on Twitch since its release on March 10. This isn’t the first time a game has challenged Fortnite’s dominance in the genre, but previous contenders have failed to maintain their popularity.
Warzone’s Impressive Viewership
Within just three weeks on Twitch, Warzone has accumulated around 90 million hours watched. Influential streamers such as Dr Disrespect and Summit1g have been leading the charge, according to data from SullyGnome.com.
Past Challengers
Previous games like Call of Duty and Apex Legends have also posed as strong contenders to dethrone Fortnite. They had the advantage of being backed by major publishers like Activision and Electronic Arts, respectively. However, despite initial success, both games were eventually overshadowed by Fortnite’s resurgence.
Fortnite’s Winning Recipe
What makes Fortnite stand out among its competitors? It’s not just about the new content updates. While Fortnite regularly introduces new cosmetics, other games also offer similar features. Instead, Fortnite keeps players engaged with its frequent reinventions. Each new season brings significant changes to the game’s map, weapons, and vehicles, providing an exciting experience for players and content creators alike.
This constant reinvention has proven to be a winning strategy for Fortnite, contributing to the dwindling viewership of Apex Legends and Call of Duty.
The Future Test for Fortnite
The upcoming season of Fortnite will be a true test for the game, especially in light of Warzone’s success. As the last season was released in February, players can anticipate new content and updates in the coming months. Only time will tell if Fortnite can maintain its position as the top battle royale game on Twitch.
