It’s always interesting when a darkhorse of some kind rises above the rest to become, even if briefly, the most-watched game on Twitch. Right now, that’s happening with survival shooter Escape from Tarkov, a hardcore early-access FPS from Russian developer Battlestate Games.
Escape from Tarkov had about 124,000 total viewers at the time of this writing, with a plurality of those watching popular Australian streamer Pestily, who had almost 45,000 viewers watching his Tarkov stream Monday. As the day began in the US, more streamers joined in, including CohhCarnage, Smoke, and Sacriel.
Battlestate Games’ tactical shooter is currently the number one game on Twitch and is being watched by over 200,000 viewers. At the same moment, it has more people watching than League of Legends and Fortnite combined and is even above the Just Chatting section. This is thanks to Tarkov’s Twitch Drops campaign that they are running over the New Year, which has attracted tens of thousands more viewers than normal to get their hands on in-game items for watching one of the dozens of partnered Tarkov streamers.
Part of the viewership spike is thanks to a limited-time promotion Battlestate Games is currently running with Twitch, which awards viewers with unique in-game loot drops if they watch certain Tarkov streamers. Loot includes special weapon variants, optics, tools, and keys to use to open certain doors squirrelled away in Tarkov’s various raid maps.
Though Tarkov is enjoying great success, the Battlestate Games Twitch channel appears to be temporarily suspended. Several Tarkov fans claim the ban may be a result of an employee pointing an unloaded gun to their head and pulling the trigger. But Twitch and Battlestate Games haven’t confirmed the cause for the suspension yet. Moreover, z2u.com provides Cheap
