Streams Charts continues overviewing Q1 2022 on Twitch. In the new article, we will talk about the most-watched streamers from Brazil and other Portuguese-speaking countries, the overlap of their audience, as well as name the most popular categories of this language segment.
The ranking of Portuguese-speaking streamers is based on their Hours Watched for Q1 2022 (January-March). The studio and gaming community channels have been excluded from the selection.
The Hours Watched indicator of the most popular Portuguese-speaking Twitch streamers continues to decline for the third quarter in a row. From January to March 2022, the top 100 creators in this language segment generated 186.9M Hours Watched, which is 5.36% less than in the last quarter of 2021.
93 streamers from Brazil accounted for 97.4% of the total Hours Watched, 1.8% came from five Portuguese creators, while the channels of spkclb (Colombia) and yayahuz (Paraguay) collected less than a percent of the total.
Most popular categories of the Portuguese-speaking segment of Twitch in Q1 2022
The most popular category among Portuguese-speaking streamers was Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, which accounted for 39.88M Hours Watched (21.3% of the total figure). This happened largely thanks to Gaules, who often broadcasts esports matches of Brazilian and top European teams.
The second most popular game was Grand Theft Auto V as the RP content of the title attracts a huge audience worldwide. Holding the third spot in the Portuguese segment is Just Chatting, the most popular category across Twitch.
While the top 3 categories of the segment saw no changes compared to the previous quarter, Valorant became more popular, rising from the sixth to the fourth spot. Thanks to the start of the new esports season, its Hours Watched grew by 25%, which was enough to overtake League of Legends and Sports.
Fortnite and Tabletop RPGs left the top 10 categories, and taking their spots were Lost Ark and Elden Ring. FIFA 22 and Garena Free Fire retained the ninth and tenth spots, respectively. Note that mobile games fall into the top 10 Twitch categories quite rarely.
