In its first full week after launching on Aug. 26, World of Warcraft Classic has taken Blizzard Entertainment’s massively multiplayer online game to heights on Twitch that it, and the platform for that matter, have never seen.To get more news about buy wow gear, you can visit lootwowgold official website.

Not only has the game generated a massive amount of hype, but its 47.1M hours watched total is more than any game has produced in a week this year or last year. Prior to this past week, there have been five occasions in which a game had generated more than 30M hours watched in 2018 or 2019.
As one might expect, Classic’s strongest day of viewership came right after launch. Monday night the game peaked at more than 1M concurrent viewers on Twitch, but on Tuesday, WoW as a whole recorded 11.7M hours watched, as numerous high-profile streamers played marathoned the game during 24+ hour long streams in an attempt to clear as much of the game’s content as they could before needing to sleep.

Following launch day, viewership decreased overall as streamers took breaks from the game to sleep and take care of their bodies. As the days wore on, the game began to see fewer hours of airtime that coincided with a decline in viewership, but the game managed to eclipse 5M hours watched every day.

While top streamers such as Morris, Asmongold, and Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek saw their peak CCV for the week come on launch day, each also saw steady average viewership statistics as the week progressed on days that they streamed despite some erratic schedules that resulted from marathon sessions.
