Streams Charts, a leading livestreaming analytics platform, provides the data powering the Streaming Ranking in PUBG: Battlegrounds’ Xeno Point Streamer Challenge, running from April 8 to April 23. The event, launched alongside the new Xeno Point PvE mode, brings together top content creators competing for a share of a $100,000 prize pool, with rankings based on both in-game performance and audience reach across Twitch and Kick.
The Xeno Point mode is a cooperative PvE experience designed for four-player squads. Before each round, players enter a specialized hub to invest resources into an extensive skill tree, upgrade ultimate abilities, and craft essential items.
As part of the Xeno Point Streamer Challenge, participants are tasked with balancing in-game success in the new PvE mode with maximizing Hours Watched on their broadcasts. Rankings are determined by a combination of these two metrics.
While the developers are responsible for evaluating in-game performance, Streams Charts’ data is used specifically to rank the top-performing creators. These rankings are based on the highest total Hours Watched accumulated in the PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS category throughout the event period.
“The Xeno Point Streamer Challenge has been an exciting initiative that motivated our content creators to produce more and better content, while giving viewers even more entertaining streams to enjoy. To ensure our leaderboard rankings were fair and transparent, we relied on Streams Charts as our trusted data source — their platform made it easy to track viewership metrics accurately and consistently across all participating streamers. Having a reliable, third-party tool like Streams Charts was essential to keeping the competition credible and the results something everyone could stand behind.”
— June Yang, Marketing Manager of PUBG IP Publishing
“The Xeno Point Streamer Challenge reflects a broader shift in the industry, where creator performance is no longer measured by gameplay alone, but by the ability to engage and grow an audience.
Streaming data makes this measurable, comparable, and scalable across platforms — and it’s great to see that Streams Charts is being relied on to support transparency and consistency in initiatives like this."
— Sergii Rudenko, CSO at Streams Charts
The PC phase of the competition, held from April 8 to April 15, saw Recrent emerge as the most popular streamer. The console phase, launching on April 16, is expected to further expand participation and viewership across platforms.
