Twitch is still by far the most-watched game streaming platform, but its growth noticeably leveled out in the second quarter of 2019, while YouTube Gaming hit some new milestones.
GAEMS’ line of self-contained on-the-go gaming entertainment systems used to be exclusively for console players. The upcoming Guardian system opens the door for streamers and PC-focused players, too.
YouTube and Facebook Gaming grew in popularity as destinations for live streaming, but they don’t hold a candle to Twitch’s biggest personalities.
Stadia boss Phil Harrison promises players will still be able to play games, even if they’ve been removed from the service’s storefront.
Streaming services are at the forefront of Yosuke Matsuda’s portfolio approach in the coming fiscal year, as Square Enix has thrown its support behind Stadia.
The affected positions appear to be at Inside Xbox and Mixer with heavy implications that Microsoft is moving away from internal original content creation.
Xbox continues its steady march towards being a service, rather than a mere hardware platform, by integrating first-party in-game rewards with streaming service, Mixer.
This decline is being attributed to shifting focus from major streamers across each platform.
StreamElements’ quarterly State of the Stream report, released on April 18, also revealed that Twitch’s top 1,000 channels are responsible for 57% of its hours watched, among other data.
The funding will be used to recruit talent and accelerate development of Polystream’s cloud-streaming technology.
