Most watched games

Fortnite triumphs for another week, but a 15 per cent decrease in hours watched sees the battle royale drop rack up six million fewer views last week. League of Legends is in second and a 7.9 per cent increase in views sees Riot's MOBA amass over 26.8 million views.

Grand Theft Auto V stays in third despite a 12.4 per cent decrease in hours watched. World of Warcraft moves up to fourth place in Dota 2's absence, racking up over 10.6 million hours watched in the last week.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive moves up to fifth from eighth; a small but effective 3.2 per cent rise in views sees CS: GO bring in over 9.2 million hours across all major streaming platforms.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds moves up a spot to sixth, despite a 1.6 per cent decrease in hours. PUBG Mobile follows close behind, despite a bigger drop of 14.6 per cent in hours watched. 

Dota 2 falls to eighth after a 53.2 per cent drop in hours watched. The ESL One championship closed last weekend pulling over half of Dota's viewers away. 

Overwatch makes another return to the chart in ninth after a 75.9 per cent increase in hours watched. Last week saw the start of the third stage of Overwatch League's season 2 which could answer for a few of those returning viewers.

Hearthstone closes the chart for last week, falling one place to tenth despite a 9.3 per cent increase in hours watched.
