Most-watched games

It's all Fortnite at the top of the chart, but the battle royale behemoth saw a 13.8 per cent dip in views last week, on top of the 23.9 per cent drop it saw the week prior. While the title is still millions of views ahead of everything else, it's dropping views substantially right now. 

League of legends remains in second and is unaffected by a 2.4 per cent drop in views. Grand Theft Auto V is in third and sees a 6 per cent dip in views 

The big riser this week is PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, which saw a 30.9 per cent increase in views last week. This increase can be attributed to the PUBG Nations Cup, which saw 16 countries compete against each other to win $500,000.

Minecraft moves up one place to fifth, seeing another rise of 12.5 per cent. PUBG Mobile moves up two places to sixth despite a slight decrease in hours watched. 

Overwatch remains in seventh for another week, and Dota 2 is slowly making its way back up the chart after a 6.9 per cent rise in views 

Teamfight Tactics sees the most significant drop this time, falling from fourth to ninth place after a 24.5 per cent drop in hours watched, and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive brings up the rear, holding on to tenth place after a 6.5 per cent jump in hours watched.
