In January of this year, Kick set a new monthly watch time record with 132.3M Hours Watched. Although the platform was unable to do the same in February, it continued to grow and show positive dynamics across a wide range of metrics.
Compared to the previous month, Kick continued to see even more streamers join the platform’s community. Kick recorded 140.8K Active Channels for the month and fell just shy of 4K Peak Channels. The platform also set a new Games Streamed record, coming in at 4 254.
In total, Kick received 130.2M Hours Watched for the month of February, marking a 2% drop compared to January. As mentioned, January was the most-watched month for Kick in the platform’s history, and this record would have likely been broken again, except for February only offering 29 days for the platform to garner viewership this year.
In terms of average viewership, Kick enjoyed a 6% increase for February, culminating in 188K Average Viewers. This is the highest monthly Average Viewers figure the platform has ever recorded, and if February was a little longer the platform would have likely set a new Hours Watched record for the month, too.
Most watched Kick streaming categories, February 2024
As is becoming the norm for Kick, the most-watched categories were dominated by Just Chatting, Slots & Casino, and Grand Theft Auto V in the podium places. These three categories have been the platform’s most-watched options for streamers and viewers for a long time, the latter thanks to its role-play servers and community-based content.
Call of Duty Warzone remained popular, receiving 4.41M Hours Watched, but Garena Free Fire enjoyed one of the largest growths in February. The game moved up 8 places compared to last month’s rankings and enjoyed an increase of 198% for its watch time. The game is hugely popular among Latin American audiences, and many top creators from this community on Kick streamed Free Fire.
The Watch Party category recorded 2.44M Hours Watched, markedly ahead of Fortnite, which recorded a 25% drop in watch time for a total of 2.04M HW in February. The Pools, Hot Tubs, & Bikinis category recorded a growth of 20%, finishing the month with 1.71M Hours Watched. This was one of the rare categories to record a growth in watch time among Kick’s top 10, and its growth was only overshadowed by Garena Free Fire’s.
Finally, Music Stations remained stable with 1.63M HW, whereas League of Legends saw a growth of 66% to reach 1.57M Hours Watched. The MOBA esports title is finding its feet on Kick, and the return of the game’s esports scene has boosted its viewership across platforms like Twitch and YouTube Live, as well as Kick.

Zelika, who earned 2.22M Hours Watched, was the only one of these three streamers to also rank within the top 10 by peak viewership.

As the only female creator to appear in the overall top 10, amouranth of course dominated the most-watched female ranking. Her 1.6M Hours Watched was accumulated across over 323 hours of broadcasting time in February, making her also one of the most hard-working streamers of these rankings.

Laparce of Columbia received 8K Peak Viewers during a Just Chatting stream, and lastly, blonderabbit garnered 4K Peak Viewers and earned the penultimate spot in the ranking thanks to the Canadian’s special 24-hour marathon broadcast celebrating her first streaming anniversary.
