Top 10 streamed games of the week: Call of Duty drops and Animal Crossing conquers

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 March 23rd, 2020.

Most-watched games

League of Legends makes a return to the top spot after a 17.5 per cent rise in views. Riot's MOBA racked up over 38 million hours last week. 

The return of LoL sees Call of Duty: Modern Warfare drop to second place, and it also saw a 17.8 per cent dropoff in views last week. The dropoff could be caused by streamers returning to other titles after a CoD stint. 

Fortnite is in third and sees a 17.7 per cent rise in views, hitting 28.9 million hours watched. The rise of Fortnite's views could also be responsible for a proportion of CoD's loss. 

Grand Theft Auto moves up one place to fourth following an 18.6 per cent increase in views. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive drops down to fifth, but still sees a 13.6 per cent increase in hours watched. 

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is still going strong; the title remained in seventh place but saw another 42.8 per cent jump in views, amassing over 18.6 million hours.

Dota 2 moves up one spot to eighth after a 13.3 per cent increase, and its closely followed by Garena Free Fire which saw an 8 per cent view increase.

Minecraft takes its usual spot at number 10 with a 12.7 per increase and 11.3 million hours watched over the last seven days.
