Fortnite Rules Streaming Scene – Yet to Break Into Esports Realm
Do Fortnite and esports go together like peanut butter and bread? At this point in time, we’re not sure.
The latest data from Newzoo, a video games market intelligence for games, esports, and mobile, shows that while Fortnite rules the streaming realm thanks to its popularity, the game is still a way off from being globally accepted as an esports title.
As shown in the latest finding -September 2018 to be exact- Fortnite dominated the overall table for both Twitch and YouTube but trail when it comes to esports hours. Newzoo described ‘Esports hours’ as content from professionally-organized esports competitions and does not include individual (pro-player) streams.
Combining this number with consumer content makes up the total hours watched (see below).
Hopefully the data above sheds insight to folks who plan to take up streaming as a career. It will also be helpful for those who are still unsure which platform is best for the games they intend to stream.
What do you think of the findings above? Which is your preferred streaming service by the way? Is Facebook a viable option at this moment? Sound off in the comments section below.
