The pandemic certainly hasn’t slowed down the incredible momentum that Twitch has built over the past few years, in fact it has been the catalyst to it’s continued record viewership numbers.

According to a report from StreamElements and Arsenal.gg, Twitch channels saw viewership grow to 5 billion hours watched between the months of April and June, marking a massive increase from Q1 2020.

The numbers also show more than a 60% increase in viewership, over the same three month period during the 2019 year.

However, Twitch was not alone in the boosts, as Facebook Gaming saw a 75% viewership increase over the quarter and a 200% increase from year-to-year, boosted by the shutdown of Mixer, who pushed streamers to the Facebook Gaming platform.
