Don’t worry, here are the most popular games on the platform.
Most Popular & Watched Games on Twitch (July 2023)
Here are the current most watched and streamed games on Twitch:
Diablo 4
Being recently released, Diablo 4 caught the big attention of a majority of Twitch players and gamers. According to Streamcharts, over 22.3K channels have been streaming D4 since June 2, 2023. The game hit the peak viewership at 942.3K audience between June 2 and 4. Since then, its stonks have been only going up.
With Blizzard’s masterful advertising and drops so far, the stats for Diablo 4 will keep on increasing on Twitch. Furthermore, to the viewership or channels, Diablo 4 has got Megan Fox eulogizing players that died playing Hardcore mode. Till now, she has eulogized Dr. Lupo, Shroud, Wudijo, and many other streamers via Twitter. Is that how Blizzard is compensating for the login issues in D4?
It’s #DiabloIV launch week, and death is in the air.
Celebrate the carnage by sharing videos of your in-game death on Twitter or TikTok with #DiabloDeaths for a chance to have @meganfox read your eulogy. pic.twitter.com/zncaW9UAxS

League of Legends
As a free-to-play game, League of Legends is unarguably the top gaming category for Twitch streamers. Whether you play LoL or not, it’s an esports that has stuck around for more than a decade. As you play the League, you can select hundreds of champions with various attributes and skills. In addition to that, its varied game modes, lore, and strong player community are other reasons for its popularity.
While hitting a peak viewership of 3.1 million audiences past year, the game globally ranks at 5th place according to Streamscharts.
Grand Theft Auto V (GTA Online)
Even after a decade of its launch, GTA Online remains the most popular game on Twitch. Thanks to the role-playing servers, the popularity of GTA V has been drastically skyrocketing over the past few years. Due to the modded servers, Twitch players can take on alternative personalities. For most players, the single-player campaign might have wrapped up the course. But for the Twitch streamers using the best mods and RP servers, this game is an endless adventure.
And with the changing ecosystem and new updates, GTA Online might never die (unless Rockstar Games pulls out the life support).
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS: GO)
CSGO has the largest skin market ecosystem while being the best spectator esport. Even though it lacks the abilities or skills to spice up the game, CSGO is a quite hard game to master. It’s replayability and balanced gameplay are one of the top reasons for this game’s popularity.
Despite the gradual decrease of the players or streamers on Twitch, it has a loyal player base at tournaments. Since only a few people could access the Counter-Strike 2 beta on launch, the viewership for this game set a record. With the future CS2 having a 128-tick rate, Valve might beat Riot’s Valorant in the future. But for now, it’s safe to say that CSGO is one of the most popular games on Twitch.
The above list is a work in progress. And we will update this guide with more popular games. So, stay tuned!
