Key findings from Streams Charts data To illustrate what this expanded cross-platform view reveals, Streams Charts analyzed the audiences of the 1,000 most-watched channels on each platform over the past 30 days. The analysis highlights clear differences in audience geography and age across Twitch, YouTube Gaming, and Kick.  Twitch has the strongest US concentration. The United States accounted for 28% of Twitch's audience, compared with 15% on Kick and 14% on YouTube Gaming. Kick has the most geographically diverse audience. 21 countries accounted for at least 1% of Kick's audience, compared with 17 on Twitch and 16 on YouTube Gaming. No single region represented more than 30% of Kick's audience, while Latin America and MENA together accounted for more than half.  YouTube Gaming has the strongest Asia-Pacific concentration. More than 60% of YouTube Gaming's audience came from APAC, led by Japan, Indonesia, and India. The platforms also differ by age. Nearly 27% of YouTube Gaming's audience is under 20, compared with 21% on Twitch, while Twitch has the largest share of viewers aged 25 and older. The one thing that does not change is gender: on all three platforms the audience is 82 to 84% male, with barely two points between them. Expanded cross-platform creator discovery With audience data now available for Twitch, YouTube, and Kick, users can browse and evaluate creators based on the characteristics of their audiences, rather than relying on total viewership alone.
