After the surge witnessed in October 2024 that helped Kick set platform records in the total Hours Watched and Average Viewers counts, there was a regression to the mean last month. Most of the metrics saw red, although most of these falls were negligible as things settled down ahead of the holiday season.
The two values to see green were Average Channels and Peak Channels, which went up by 1% and 5%, respectively. For the former, it was the second straight month witnessing an improvement, which will be good news after the previous three months saw back-to-back declines, although minute.
The HW and AV counts also fell by 12% and 14%, respectively, as the number of events, both by streamers and in esports, decreased. The Peak Viewers figure declined by 37% after the all-time high set in October thanks to WestCol's Stream Fighters 3.
Nevertheless, Kick continues to put up solid numbers that back its pretty solid status as the third-most preferred live-streaming service after the big two. A decent end to the year should solidify this claim and help the Stake-backed company move into the new year with more momentum than ever before.
Most Watched Kick Categories, November 2024
Despite seeing a decline in its monthly watch time by 11%, the Just Chatting category was by far the top segment. Following in second was Slots & Casino, which regained the best of the rest tag thanks to a jump of 10% in its month-on-month watch time.
After jumping to second in October 2024, the IRL section had to be content with the fourth spot in the latest rankings after falling by 38% MoM. The final place on the podium went to Grand Theft Auto V (GTA), which regained its position among the top three and continues to be the most-watched game on Kick.
It was a great month for video games, with as many as seven entrants on these top ten standings. Among the notable names was Minecraft, which continues to bank on the Dedsafio event featuring many top Spanish-speaking streamers across platforms.
PUBG Mobile was a big mover (99%) as well thanks to the ongoing World Championship, whose Grand Finals will be held this weekend in London's Excel Auditorium. Another title that saw a spike in its monthly watch time (107%) was the recently released Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, which continues to attract some of the top live-streaming names from North America and the Middle East.

WestCol continued to dominate the charts regarding the most-watched content creators on the green platform, although his month-on-month HW numbers did fall by a huge 73%. He was joined by other South American stars like Spreen, Brunenger, and MrStiventc, reinforcing that Kick remains a hotbed for online personalities from this continent and the Middle East.
The United States also had a couple of entrants in the form of N3on and Fousey, both of whom continue to focus on IRL content to entertain their millions of fans. They were joined by North American counterpart Xqc in third, although critics will not exactly be pleased with the Canadian continuing to favor gambling content thanks to the platform's lenient laws.
As previously mentioned, Middle East internet stars, especially from Saudi Arabia, provide some of the most-watched streamers to Kick. This can be seen in the fact that Drb7h and Sxb were among the top four names by HW last month, with their GTA V playthroughs and guides continuing to attract a large number of global viewers.
A lot of the above names also finished among November 2024's most popular broadcasters. Minecraft featured a lot thanks to the Dedsafio event, while numerous IRL streamers also got a look in. PUBG Mobile and its Global Championship also had a representative in the form of Jordan's Maherco, one of the game's biggest creators in the Middle East region.
Most Watched Female Kick Streamers, November 2024
After getting displaced from the top spot in October, Amouranth returned to her rightful place after putting up 620K HW last month despite a fall of 21% in her MoM watch time. She was propped up by perennial podium dwellers Woodbabi and Demisux, with the trios content mostly revolving around the Just Chatting and IRL genres.
October 2024's topper GirlOfNox had to settle for the fourth spot after moving away from Minecraft and Dedsafio and playing quite a bit of Valorant. She was joined in the top five by Puerto Rico's Alondrissa, whose commitment to staying online more often resulted in a rise of 604% in her MoM watch time.
The last five names on this top ten leaderboard had quite a few gamers like Nemesis, Thay-fps, Khloetv, and Mee_shell, all of whom streamed titles like Factorio, Valorant, and GTA V. This continues a steady rise in the number of female streamers on Kick adopting video gaming content as part of their daily schedules.
