Valorant<\/a>, the first-person shooter (FPS) game developed and published by Riot Games, has been making waves in the gaming industry since its release two years ago. One notable area where Valorant has been particularly successful this year is in terms of Twitch viewership.<\/p>\n

According to Stream Charts, Valorant, the first-person shooter game developed and published by Riot Games, was the most successful shooting game on Twitch in terms of viewership this year. It garnered more viewership on the purple platform than other FPS games such as Counter-Strike: Global Offensive<\/a> and Fortnite<\/a>.<\/p>\n

From January to December 18th, the tactical first-person shooter game generated a staggering 1.126 billion total hours watched, nearly double the amount of the second-highest viewed FPS game, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, which had around 685 million total hours watched. Valorant’s strong performance on Twitch highlights its popularity and success in the FPS genre.<\/p>\n

“Since its release in 2020, Valorant took the shooter genre by storm. A well-polished game that quickly gained a big fan base, it\u2019s now one of the biggest titles in the genre,” Streams Charts said.<\/p>\n

“Its esports scene also grew quickly, and this year it cemented itself as one of the most popular around the world. With Valorant winning the best esports game of the year award at the 2022 Game Awards, and captivating millions from all around the world, it’s no surprise the game sits at the top of this list. With an astonishing 1.1 billion Hours Watched, Valorant is this year’s most popular shooter.<\/p>\n

“Coming in second place, we have Valorant biggest rival, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. The game is already a classic of the shooter genre. It was released in 2012, and for many years it was the most popular shooter game, with no title coming close to it.<\/p>\n

“It has one of the oldest, and biggest esports scenes in the industry. Despite being released 10 years ago, it still captivates the hearts of millions of players from all around the globe. In 2022, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive was watched for 684 million hours.”<\/p>\n

Right next to CS:GO is Apex Legends, which has become a popular choice among players for its battle royale gameplay. The game has consistently gained in popularity over the years and has even become a strong competitor to Fortnite, widely considered to be the most successful battle royale game to date.<\/p>\n

Apex Legends<\/a> has a thriving esports scene, and it is expected to continue growing in popularity. In terms of Twitch viewership, Apex Legends has achieved 640 million total hours watched, securing it the third spot on the list.<\/p>\n
