Top 10 streamed games of the week: COD: Black Ops 4 brings a third battle royale into the mix

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.

This chart covers the week commencing October 9th to October 14th.

Most watched games

Fortnite reigns supreme for another week, but another six per cent drop means there are only 2 million views between the battle royale and League of Legends.  Last week, there were four million views between the two games.

A new battle royale contender enters the chart at number three this week. Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is demanding the attention of streamers right now, knocking PUBG back down to fourth place. 

Dota 2 is back up in fifth with a 22 per cent increase in views, swapping places with World of Warcraft. Hearthstone is back up in seventh place with a 58 per cent increase in views this week, presumably spurred by the HCTFall championship.

CS:GO is still in eighth place with a 12 per cent increase in views, while FIFA 19 has fallen right down to ninth place with a 12 per cent decrease in views, just two weeks after its launch. 

Overwatch is closing the charts for a second week with a tiny 4.9 per cent increase in views.
