Fortnite Becomes Most-Watched Game On Twitch
Fornite has been building on its increasing popularity, sitting at the top of Twitch's viewership over the last two weeks. In that time, Fornite has been streamed for a total of 5.014 years and 110 days, which equates to 43,925,280 hours, in case you were going to do the math.
This almost doubles the viewership of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, which clocks in at 2,517 years and 314 days. League of Legends and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive have continued to remain popular during Fortnite's boom, sitting at second and third place over the last two weeks with over 4,500 years and 2,600 years watched, respectively.

Our Take
It'll be interesting to see how high Fornite's popularity will continue to climb as PUBG's player count decreases. PUBG is still very fun to watch, but maybe their viewership would grow if you could snipe people will riding errant rockets across the map.
