Top 10 streamed games of the week: League of Legends views up 31%

InfluencerUpdate.biz has teamed up with esports and streaming analytics firm Stream Hatchet to bring you weekly charts of the most popular games in the streaming space.

This chart documents the most-watched games by hours across Twitch, YouTube Gaming, Mixer and Facebook.

Each week we'll be documenting the top ten most-watched titles across all the major streaming platforms so you can see which games are thriving among content creators and which titles are waning in popularity. We also have a chart documenting the week's biggest content creators.

This chart covers the week commencing May 25th 2020.

Most-watched games

Fortnite is sitting pretty at the top of the chart again with 42.5 million hours watched over the last week. The title saw a small dropoff of 3.4 per cent, but it's still going strong.

League of Legends is enjoying quite the surge, moving into second place following a 31 per cent rise in views. Grand Theft Auto V takes third place, but its view count stayed largely the same.

PUBG Mobile is in fourth place with 29.4 million hours watched across streaming platforms last week. It's followed by Call of Duty: Modern Warfare in fifth which racked up 25.6 million hours. 

Garena Free Fire is the second mobile title to appear on the board for last week, and it racked up 22.6 million hours watched. It is followed by CS:GO, which saw a view increase of 10.8 per cent. 

Minecraft clocks in at seventh with 17 million hours watched but sees the biggest decrease of the week - which is only 8.3 per cent. Dota 2 takes ninth with an 18.1 per cent rise in views, racking up 16.5 million hours watched. 

Apex Legends closes the chart with 11.8 million hours watched, clutching its place in the top ten as Valorant slides out of view. However, Valorant did launch this week, so it may make a reappearance following its record-breaking Twitch performance during the beta
