The first-ever Fortnite World Cup last month was a massive undertaking, bringing together a number of popular and rising streamers and esports players to try for a piece of a $30 million prize pool.
And the spectacle itself, alongside the online presences of those streamers and esports personalities, brought in viewership spikes across Twitch and YouTube both for official channels and for individuals participating. Epic already announced the milestone of a peak 2.3 million concurrent viewers, the highest viewership for any esports event outside of China.
According to Newzoo, the Fortnite World Cup qualifiers brought in over 700,000 hours of viewership per week on official Twitch and YouTube channels, with Twitch bringing in 65% of that viewership.
