Last month was a major success for Kick and its streamers — October saw the platform set several all-time records, including total Hours Watched and Average Viewers counts. This surge was driven by events featuring popular streamers, along with the influx of new content creators who recently joined Kick.
In October, the average number of viewers on Kick surpassed 360.7K, marking a 33% increase from September. For context, the previous record for this metric was set in July, with an average of 271K viewers.
Along with the rise in average viewership, total Hours Watched also skyrocketed — Kick’s streamers generated over 263.4 million HW in October, setting a new all-time record for the platform.
Additionally, it's noteworthy that Kick achieved a peak of over 1.75 million concurrent viewers, thanks to the Stream Fighters 3 boxing event featuring streamer WestCol. After this event, Kick ranked among the top three streaming platforms for peak viewership, surpassing AfreecaTV.

Most watched Kick categories, October 2024
The Just Chatting category continued to dominate on Kick, amassing nearly 59 million HW in October — an increase of 25% compared to September. The IRL section took second place, growing by 114% and surpassing Slots & Casino in HW. The most active streamer in the IRL category was n3on, whose channel generated over 18.4 million HW thanks to a massive 24-hour marathon.
The Minecraft category experienced phenomenal growth, with streams in this section accumulating 21.5 million HW — up more than 770% from the previous month. A big part of this success came from broadcasts by WestCol and Spreen during the major Dedsafio event, which featured many top Spanish-speaking streamers from Kick and other platforms.
For the first time, the Special Events category cracked the top 10 most-watched categories on Kick, thanks entirely to the boxing event Stream Fighters 3 hosted by WestCol. Notably, the Colombian streamer set a new personal record for concurrent viewers, with over 1.42 million people tuning in to watch the event at the same time.

At the top of the most-watched streamers on Kick table for October were n3on and WestCol, who logged 21.1 million and 20.6 million Hours Watched, respectively — three times more than any other streamers on the platform.
It's also worth noting that Spreen is an Argentine Twitch star who started streaming on Kick only at the end of September. He has quickly climbed into the top three most popular streamers on the green platform. In October, Spreen focused on streaming Minecraft, setting a new personal record for audience reach on Kick with a peak of 248.6K Peak Viewers.
Another Argentine streamer, Coscu, also achieved a personal best in October. He covered a soccer show match between streamers from Argentina and Mexico, attracting nearly 214K PV on his channel. The Argentines won the match 3-1, and highlights are available on Coscu's YouTube channel.
After a brief break, sxb made his return to the top 10 most popular streamers on Kick. He had barely streamed in September but came back in October with regular GTA V broadcasts, easily surpassing 4 million HW and outpacing even xQc in this category.
Most Watched Female Kick streamers, October 2024
A new leader has emerged in the women’s rankings — by the end of October, the most-watched female streamer on Kick was GirlOfNox from Argentina. Her channel generated 1.55 million Hours Watched over the month, nearly doubling the results of queen Amouranth.
So, who is GirlOfNox? She’s a familiar face to Twitch viewers, having streamed gaming content (primarily Minecraft) for quite some time, and she has over 580K followers on the purple platform. In October, she began streaming simultaneously on Kick, and her popularity soared thanks to her broadcasts of the Desfadio 3 Minecraft series, which we mentioned earlier.
Notably, by the end of the month, GirlOfNox not only became the most-watched female streamer on Kick but also made it into the top three in the same category on Twitch. Being among the best on two platforms is an incredible achievement that few can claim in the industry.
