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

We'll also document the top ten rising channels of the week. These are the creators that are rising fastest on their respective platforms.

This chart covers the week commencing December 24th to December 30th.

Most watched channels

Fortnite leads the charge in 2019 and it shows no signs of being overtaken yet. The battle royale racked up 37.8 million hours watched over the holidays, over 20 million more than League of Legends which clocked in at second.

PUBG is in third place despite a 22 per cent drop in views last week. A new entry in fourth is Atlas, a new Pirate MMO from Grapeshot Games. The title racked up 10.9 million hours watched in its first week despite performance issues at launch.
