In total, the top 100 German-speaking streamers generated 190M Hours Watched in Q4 2021, which is 20% more compared to Q3. Note that 94.8% of them are from Germany, two more are from Turkey (3.5%) and one is from the Czech Republic (1.7%). Viewers of the TOP 100 streamers generated over 51% of the total HW by language, and its 3.46% of the total by platform in Q4 (more that Russian-speaking segment, but less than Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking streamers).
Most popular categories among German-speaking streamers on Twitch
We have compiled a ranking of the most popular streaming categories of German-speaking streamers. The first spot (unlike other language segments of the platform) is occupied by Grand Theft Auto V with 67.5M Hours Watched in Q4 2021. The Just Chatting category is the most popular one on Twitch in 2021, but it is in second spot in the German-speaking segment. Moreover, its Hours Watched are three times less than those of GTA V. FIFA 22 also got into the top 3 with 13.2M Hours Watched.
Other notable games include New World and Teamfight Tactics. The first title is Amazon's MMORPG, which skyrocketed on the platform upon release but failed to maintain its position in the rankings over time, except for some local markets. Teamfight Tactics is an auto-battler that is rarely seen in the top positions of the overall Twitch top, but the game still remains in the top but in the German-speaking segment of Twitch.
Many popular games of the platform, such as CS:GO, Valorant, Dota 2, and Apex Legends, didn’t make it in the ranking. This shows how this market has different preferences in terms of content on Twitch.
Most popular German-speaking streamers in Q4 2021
Marcel “MontanaBlack88” Eris was the most-watched streamer in Q4 2021 with 27.8M Hours Watched. Marcel has been streaming on the platform for a long time now, in 2019 he was even the leader of the platform in terms of the number of subscribers for some time. MontanaBlack88 mainly plays Grand Theft Auto V and interacts with the audience in the Just Chatting section. He also amassed 133K Peak Viewers, which is one of the best results among the representatives of the top 10.
The second spot goes to xRohat with 15M Hours Watched, which is almost two times less than MontanaBlack88 amassed. The streamer also streams the most in the GTA V and Just Chatting categories, but his unusual content should be noted as well: several times he held "sleep marathons", i.e. just relaxed in bed being live on stream.
Closing the top 3 is Trymacs with 9.6M Hours Watched. He stands out due to not focusing on one category and almost always trying new game titles. In Q4, the content creator focused on the “Special Events” category and hosted streamer parties at home: inviting content creators popular in the region, with whom they hosted joint broadcasts.
It should be noted that the prowess of the rest of the top in terms of Hours Watched is nearly on the same level, which is what allowed MontanaBlack88 to stand out from the rest. We also looked at the audience overlap among the top 5 streamers to understand how similar their audience is.
The audience of the top 2 streamers MontanaBlack88 and xRonat features a large overlap, with as many as 86% of MontanaBlack88’s viewers watching the broadcasts of xRonat. MontanaBlack88 also has the largest percentage of the audience watching the broadcasts of streamers from the top 5. GRONKH is a completely different case as his audience overlaps with other content creators by only 6-14%.
The most popular German-speaking streamers in Q4 2021
In total, eight girls got into the top 100 most popular German-speaking streamers. Of these, Sintica generated the most Hours Watched: 1.2M. Anika pays the most attention to the Music category, as she is a DJ and streams her own sets live. The girl even became the highest-rated streamer by subscriptions in September 2021. Despite the relatively small number of followers, she managed to pull ahead thanks to yearly subscriptions.
The second spot is occupied by Mahluna with 830K Hours Watched. The girl mainly specializes in gaming content and devotes most of her time to Valorant, which became her #1 category in Q4 2021.
Closing the top 3 is RevedTV. In Q4 2021, the girl paid the most attention to Just Chatting. She also became #1 among female streamers in terms of Peak Viewers, amassing 11K concurrent viewers.
The German segment of Twitch stood out with unusual categories in the top, as well as the dominance of specific streamers, given that the results of MontanaBlack88 and Sintica are head and shoulders above those of other people in the ranking. Judging by the increase in Hours Watched, German streaming is only gaining momentum – but we will only be able to determine the overall dynamics after analyzing Q1 2022.
