Fortnite is taking a trip down memory lane with the newly released Fortnite OG. During the season, each update will bring a different period of Fortnite’s history back to life, letting players relive the good ol’ days.
The first phase of Season OG brings Chapter 1 Season 5 back, and there are three more updates already planned and scheduled. November 9 will see Season 6 return, November 16 Seasons 7 and 8, and November 23 Seasons 9 and 10. The first update of the OG season has already landed, and Fortnite is back at the top of Twitch.
The day is not yet over, but Fortnite has already accumulated 3.5M Hours Watched on November 3. The release of the new update has been a huge revival for the game so far, and it has already recorded a 116% increase in watch time compared to yesterday’s complete stats.
These stats will continue to update live as the day continues, so keep an eye on our Games tab to see how much viewership it can garner by the end of the day. But what’s impressive about Fortnite’s new season, is the amount of channels and viewers infatuated with the Battle Royale.
Compared to League of Legends, Fortnite has recorded a 700% higher Peak Channels figure today. Using the data found on Fortnite’s game page, we can what percentage of Twitch are currently watching and streaming it.
At the time of this article, 29% of all channels live on Twitch are streaming Fortnite. With over 30K channels broadcasting Fortnite at once on Twitch, this is the highest Peak Channels figure the game has seen all year.
Fortnite currently commands the eyes of 629.2K Viewers on Twitch, 21% of the total audience of the platform. The game reached 773.8K Peak Viewers earlier today, once again the highest peak the Battle Royale title has seen all year. With such high viewership for the game, which streamers are the driving force behind this viewership?
It’s fitting that the Fortnite OG Season release is topped by the OG king of Fortnite. Ninja is the most popular streamer of the OG Season release so far and reached 124K Peak Viewers. He’s been live for over 15 hours and is still broadcasting to his channel at this very moment.

Just behind Ninja was Clix, the new star of the Fortnite community on Twitch. Although Clix is usually at the top of Fortnite viewership on Twitch recently, he had to settle for second place today. The American streamer reached 60K Peak Viewers and is also still live on Twitch.
The top 10 most popular streamers of today represent some of the largest communities in live-streaming. Although American streamers topped the ranking, there were multiple Spanish, French, and German streamers at the top of the game’s viewership on Twitch.
Fortnite has returned to 2018, and its viewership has followed suit. The game is once again at the top of live-streaming viewership, and if the title can maintain this current viewership until the end of the season, it will likely be the most-watched game on Twitch for the closing months of 2023.
