Top 10 streamed games of the week: A western storm is shaking things up

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 October 16th to October 28th.

Most watched games

Fortnite is back on top after a short dip in second place last week. A small 3 per cent increase in views has put the battle royale favourite back into top spot. 

League of Legends is back in second place after a 43 per cent decrease in views over the last week. Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 follows on with a 49 per cent drop in views. 

The highly anticipated Red Dead Redemption 2 is a new entry in fourth place with 14.7 million hours viewed since its launch last Friday. The western prequel was less than 100,000 hours off hitting the top three.

Despite a 23 per cent increase in views on last week, PUBG has been knocked down to fifth. And despite a 55 per cent increase in views, Dota 2 is still in sixth place behind PUBG.

CS:GO is in seventh with a slight 12 per cent in views on last week, followed by FIFA 19 with a 13 per cent decrease. FIFA 19 still holds the gauntlet for the biggest physical launch of the year, but Red Dead is slowly creeping up. 

Hearthstone and World of Warcraft are bringing up the rear with 19 per cent and 19 per cent decreases in views respectively. The entrance of RDR2 has seen Overwatch drop off the charts too.
