Fortnite recovers part of its viewing on Twitch thanks to Chapter 2

Chapter 2 of Fortnite has regained part of its audience on Twitch. Now it is a matter of maintaining it.

For months it has been shown in reports that Fortnite has been losing a lot of audience. The mix of weary viewers of the same game and successful streamers who are better rewarded playing other titles has caused Epic Games to take action with a remarkable rework. Under the name Chapter 2, Fortnite has attracted a lot of people new and old. And that is proven according to his data on Twitch.

League of Legends had multiple events that attracted the attention of viewers. Compared to September, League of Legends viewing hours increased by 62%. But Apex Legends was the game that saw the biggest increase in viewership last month. Their hours watched increased 81% month over month.

According to StreamElements, October was a great month in terms of graphics, and League of Legends managed to return to first place on Twitch thanks to the World Championship, while Fortnite received a little boost with the introduction of Chapter 2. The rise of Apex Legends was equally impressive. after streamer Shroud (who would sign for Mixer shortly after) played it again while DrDisrespect nearly doubled the number of hours he spent playing the game. From September to October, Legue of Legends jumped from number 2 to first, while Fortnite rose from fourth to second, and finally Apex Legends jumped from seventeenth to eighth.
