"Starfield", that's it - it's gaming in a nutshell over the past few weeks.
Bethesda Game Studios' long-anticipated space exploration game hasn't just made a dent in the cosmos, it has officially exploded into a supernova of viewer interest, rattling platforms like Twitch and Steam with record-breaking metrics. The most amazing part is that we're talking about a game that's technically not even fully out yet; it's still in its early access phase for those privileged enough to have pre-ordered the Premium or Constellation editions.
But why bask in the hype when numbers speak for themselves? At its peak, Starfield accrued an astronomical 440,223 peak viewers on Twitch, making it the most-viewed category even before its official release. The game has comfortably settled in with around 196,000 viewers on average, blasting past staples like Grand Theft Auto V and League of Legends, sitting just behind the leading category, Just Chatting. A handful of popular Twitch titans such as Shroud, CohhCarnage, and AnnieFuchsia are leading the charge, clocking in insane viewership numbers while navigating through space's near-endless frontier.
