How did the metrics change on Twitch in August 2021? In our new article, Streams Charts will tell you about the top categories of the month, whether new gaming releases managed to reach the top of the rating, and which streamers kept the title of the best on the platform.
The most popular Twitch categories in August 2021
Just Chatting remains the unchanged leader of the platform. In August, the category collected 8M HW more than in July. The second and third places (GTA V and League of Legends) have not changed either. Bear in mind that the regional LoL leagues helped the game strengthen its position on the platform.
Apex Legends experienced a huge increase in August, moving up from 10th to 4th place, and its Hours Watched increased by 95%. NICKMERCS made a huge contribution to Apex Legends this month. Nicholas usually plays Warzone, but he decided to change his preferences this month and became the top 1 streamer by Hours Watched in August.
Fortnite has taken fifth place. The game improved its Hours Watched by 12%, thanks to Ariana Grande's concert and FNCS competition. Valorant numbers decreased by 4%, and the game itself lost two positions in August. Also, the Call of Duty: Warzone category lost 15% HW.
World of Warcraft dropped out of the rating, but Dota 2 returned to the 10th position thanks to such events as BTS Pro Series Season 7, OGA Dota PIT Season 5 China, and ESL One Fall 2021.
The most popular Twitch streamers in August 2021
xQcOW regained his leadership on the platform and improved his Hours Watched by 32% in August 2021. At the same time, Asmongold, the previous winner of the first place, did not make it into the rankings at all. Roshtein and Gaules also dropped out of the top, but they were replaced by Auronplay, Nickmercs and Ibai. Loud_Coringa gathered only 1 million Hours Watched less but lost one position this month.
Among the girls, Amouranth is still in the lead. In August, Kaitlyn was 25 hours longer, so she stayed in the top and showed even better results than in July.
In August, half of the women's Twitch top was occupied by Koreans. Saddummy from Korea got second place, despite that her August Hours Watched decreased compared to July. Following the same principle, Jinnytty moved two positions up but did not bypass her July numbers.

In addition to esports competitions, Fextralife gaming community is in fourth position.
