It will be interesting to note their viewership when that incentive is no longer relevant next quarter. Much of this viewership can be attributed to the fact that users needed to watch a live stream in order to receive an invite to the beta. To put that into perspective, Fortnite at its peak viewership was 399 million hours on Twitch. Valorant absolutely exploded in popularity this quarter at 534 million hours watched on Twitch alone. Valorant was the most-watched game on Twitch in a single quarter with 534 million hours, beating Fortnite which peaked at 399 million hours in Q2 of 2018.There are now over 5 million channels that need to choose another platform to stream on.

This quarter, Streamlabs is taking a closer look at each platform’s growth and how Mixer’s shut down may affect the industry. Whichever platform can attract those users will have a serious advantage and may help in eventually competing with Twitch. Once Mixer shuts down, there will be a vast ecosystem of potential live streamers searching for a new platform. Mixer is teaming up with Facebook Gaming to give its users a new home however, it is still unclear how many people will make the transition. Microsoft says Mixer will officially shut down on July 22. Sadly, it appears this bet wasn’t enough to keep the live streaming platform from closing. It was a big bet in the hopes of attracting a larger audience to the platform.
Mixer made headlines last year when it signed an exclusivity deal with Ninja and Shroud - top live streamers that made the switch from Twitch.
