Twitch Trends in 2022

Since Twitch launched 11 years ago, a lot has changed on the leading live-streaming platform, where most of the world’s best content creators congregate. Although Facebook and YouTube have tried to capture some of the world’s best streamers with multi-million dollar contracts for leaving the purple platform, it remains the undisputed leader globally.

But what are the most watched topics on Twitch?

Just Chatting is the category that has the most broadcasts and viewers, as it covers a multitude of topics and when a streamer does not have an exact category that represents the topic he is going to address or what he is going to share with his subscribers he resorts to using this as the theme of his or her stream.

In terms of games, the trends of the last few weeks are the following games:

– Overwatch 2

– League of Legends: the classic that never dies.

– Grand Theft Auto V: one of the games with the best ability to interact with the channel’s viewers.

– Dota 2

– Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

– Fifa 23

– Valorant

– World Of Warcraft: another of the classics that never dies.

– Minecraft

– Rust

This last category may not ring a bell. But, believe it or not, there are many Twitch channels that broadcast live online games, something that the platform itself has ended up seeing as a big success. However, they announced that these games will enter into new rules to try to protect users from the problems that some of these games and sites can produce. To do this, they will limit these broadcasts to online game sites that operate in the United States or any of the countries that sufficiently protect players, so that they can prevent most of the problems that these games/sites can cause.

You may also not know the difference between a secure online game and an unsecured online game, but you can visit specialized websites that offer a lot of information on this subject.

All this controversy and the change of policies in Twitch in this regard come from the scandals originated by the popular game streamers who have publicly acknowledged collecting massive amounts of real money from their subscribers and other friends’ content creators in order to pay debts caused by addiction to online gaming. The streamers made live streams where they acknowledged all the accusations and announced that they were overcoming their online gaming problems.

Throughout the year the most played games by Twitch streamers usually change, following the trends. Sometimes, some big streamer with a large following tries out a new game and many other smaller content creators play it as well, making it go viral and sneak into the top of Twitch broadcasts. So, while these stats may not represent the success or otherwise throughout the year on Twitch, it is the current situation and trends on the platform.

And you, what kind of stream do you like to watch the most?
