Shroud Dominates Starfield Launch Day Streaming on Twitch
Shroud has surpassed the likes of Asmongold, CohhCarnage, and many others as the most viewed streamer for Starfield on Twitch during its official launch day. The long-awaited space exploration game, Starfield, was finally released by Bethesda on September 6, 2023, to critical acclaim. Many of Twitch's top creators began streaming Starfield, attracting large viewerships throughout the day.
Shroud Leads with Highest Watch Hours
Shroud, the former CS:GO pro, attracted the most attention with the highest number of watch hours in his Twitch stream, outstripping Asmongold and CohhCarnage. It was noted that Shroud managed to record noticeably longer streams compared to his competition, his session clocking in at almost two hours more than Cohh.
185,000 Hours Watched for Shroud's Channel
Using data obtained from Streams Charts, it has been revealed that of the total 2.4M hours watched on Twitch, 185,000 hours was attributed to Shroud's broadcasting channel alone. This number of watched hours was a staggering 75% greater than the second and third viewer favourites, CohhCarnage and Asmongold. Interestingly, Asmonagold opted to stream his gameplay via an alternate Twitch account, Zackrawrr, which typically records less viewer engagement than his primary channel.
Other Notable Creators
Others who made the list included Fextralife, popular figures MoonMoon and Summit1g, and Jenfoxxx, also known as IndieFoxx. Recall that IndieFoxx had been barred temporarily from Twitch in 2021, her ban being lifted two years later which marked her return to streaming with an impressive 17k viewer stream.
