November was a solid month for Kick, even if it fell short of the platform’s top performances in 2025. Viewership and overall streamer activity both cooled down compared to October, but the month still delivered a milestone: Kick hit its all-time peak for peak active streamers, driven directly by a single in-game event.
Most of Kick’s metrics dipped in November, though the declines were mild, generally landing between 1-10%. The sharpest drop came in peak viewership, which fell by 62%, largely because the platform didn’t host anything even close to the hype level of Stream Fighters 4.
The only metric that rose in November was peak streamer activity, and it didn’t just rise; it hit a new record with 16,467 channels streaming at the same time. The surge occurred during Zero Hour, a major in-game Fortnite event that closed out Chapter 6 and kicked off Chapter 7. A comparable spike in streamer activity was seen on platforms like Twitch as well.
When it comes to game categories, Action remains Kick’s most-watched genre, and in November, titles within it collectively grew their total watch time by 2%. Shooters, Adventure and RPG also saw modest increases. The strongest gains among the top ten genres came from Survival and MMO, jumping 96% and 81% respectively.
The gambling genre saw the sharpest decline, with total watch time falling 19% in November: a curious drop for a platform where gambling usually draws massive demand.
In terms of the most-watched games and categories, things remain largely consistent. Talk and IRL streams continue to dominate, while on the gaming side viewers gravitate toward GTA roleplay content and popular competitive titles such as EA Sports FC and PUBG Mobile.
Interestingly, while most categories drew viewership fairly evenly across the month, a few titles spiked around specific events. Counter-Strike picked up once the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 kicked off, and Rust surged during Kick’s first-ever Drops campaign.
Among top creators, the leaderboard is once again led by familiar names. Japanese influencer Shun “korekore_ch” Aoki and Red Bull’s Jordanian streamer Maher “Maherco” Sultaneh claimed first and second place with only a slim margin between them, finishing more than 46% ahead of the rest of the field.
Within the top ten, the strongest upward movement came from Alexandre “Gaules” Borba, the Counter-Strike influencer who surged thanks to the CS Major kicking off late in the month. His channel continues to command massive popularity among Brazilian fans.
The top-streamer rankings once again highlight the platform’s multicultural reach, with Adin Ross standing as the only North American creator to make the list. All other U.S. and Canadian streamers finished outside the top 15.
The landscape among female creators on Kick also remained mostly unchanged. Alondra “alondrissa” Michelle held onto the top spot with an average of over 11,000 concurrent viewers, maintaining a lead of more than 2,000 over the runner-up, Milenka “milenkanolasco” Nolasco.
It’s also worth noting that, unlike the overall rankings, where male streamers from the Middle East tend to perform best, the female creator landscape is led by South American talent, whose content audiences consistently find the most appealing.
