A recent report from StreamElements and its analytics partner Rainmaker.gg showed that both Twitch and Facebook Gaming have experienced a massive amount of growth over the last year. The Verge’s Bijan Stephen said this growth is “another piece of evidence that live-streaming platforms were one of the winners of the [COVID-19} crisis.”
StreamElements and Rainmaker released a report regarding the companies’ growth in an issue of “State of the Stream.” According to the report, Twitch has grown by 82% over the last year while Facebook Gaming has grown by 79%. This means that Twitch recorded 1.8 billion hours of watch time in February while Facebook Gaming cleared 400 million hours of use.
Bijan Stephen said that the COVID-19 Pandemic has been a huge factor in this increase in screen time. “Those numbers are both massive and, I think, durable: both figures are actually a decrease from January, which was a longer month,” he said. “To me, that suggests that the total number of people who watch live streams has materially increased over the course of the global coronavirus pandemic.”
