Special events are the most popular broadcasts of Q1 2024

In an almost infinite universe of channels and game streamers, on several different platforms, you need to reinvent yourself to stand out. And it was the special events, created by the streamers themselves or rebroadcasted by them, that became the most popular broadcasts of the 1st quarter of 2024.

Special events attract public attention

Big streamers manage to gather a huge audience in their daily broadcasts, whether playing a game or just talking to their audience.

Varying the style of broadcasts can often be the key to keeping your audience engaged. Reacts are also quite popular among streamers and content creators.

But it is really the Special Events that attract the public’s attention, bringing together the largest audiences on current live streaming platforms. These events can either be created especially by streamers for a broadcast or simply rebroadcasted on their channels.

The Most Popular Streams of 2024 (So Far)

And with the first quarter of 2024 now complete, we can look back and analyze the most popular broadcasts from today’s three main game live streaming platforms: Twitch, YouTube Gaming and Kick.

Although they are not necessarily exclusive to gamer content, these three platforms are predominantly dominated by video game broadcasts. Despite this, the most popular broadcasts are not always related to the world of video games.

According to the StreamsCharts website, the most popular live stream of the first quarter of 2024 was carried out by Spanish streamer ibai, on March 4th. On that day, during its event “La Velada del Año 4”, a boxing event with streamers and influencers, the ibai channel achieved a peak viewership of 798,288.
