Sponsored streams on Twitch had a field time last month thanks to Destiny 2's latest expansion, The Final Shape, and its June 7 Salvation’s Edge Raid, which marked the end of a 10-year era for Guardians, known as the Light and Darkness saga. There was also an IRL streamer whose journey across Europe with his friends on 3-scooters attracted quite a bit of attention.
We also saw the arrival of multiple games on Steam, which kept multiple YouTubers busy and helped a few jump to the top of the platform's most-watched sponsored content list for June. There was also a return to form for a highly-touted Fortnite content creator who has been missing from such monthly lists for some time.
Most watched sponsored Twitch streams in June 2024
Atop the Twitch leaderboard of sponsored streams last month on the purple platform is Destiny 2 creator Datto. His live broadcast of the Destiny 2 raid mentioned above included drops for viewers, who could win emblems from watching his playthrough. It ended up hitting 1.86M Hours Watched, which was just about enough to give the American the number one position.
Next comes Aztecross, another broadcaster who busied himself playing the Bungie offering's June 7 raid. Apart from containing drops as part of a giveaway for audiences, he also partnered with Steelseries, Starforge Systems, and Intel during this live stream. It finished with 1.84M HW, just behind the top spot, although his Peak Viewers figure of 124.3K would have put him above Datto.
Rounding off the podium is Trymacs, who kept the Travel & Outdoors segment busy last month via a trans-continental trip that saw him cover multiple European countries. This live stream, titled '7 days scooter tour - From Milan to Munich via the Alps - Day 2,' saw the German and his friends travel from Italy to Germany using SoFlow's e-scooters and Bluetti's portable power stations. The former is a Swiss electric mobility company while the latter is an American clean energy company.
Sweatcicle is fourth with 743.5K HW thanks to another Destiny 2 live broadcast from June 7 that saw him participate in the Salvation's Edge Raid Race. He also tied up with Starforge Systems and Intel, apart from offering viewers drops, while interested audience members could also purchase merch.
Last but not least is Tumblurr, who covered the last chance Kings World Cup match of his team, Stallions, against ElZeein's Persas FC. CAIZcoin — the Islamic Compliant Cryptocurrency and one of the sponsors of the Kings World Cup — was the sponsor of this live broadcast. The team, which the Italian superstar co-owns with his country's football legend Francesco Totti, was knocked out in the Round of 16 by eventual champion Porcinos FC.

Leading the list among the red platform's influencers is Insym, whose gameplay stream of the re-introduced Autopsy Simulator registered 17.3K HW. This first-person horror-sim hybrid from Woodland Games was introduced to Steam last month for $24.99 and partnered with the English-speaking Dutch streamer to get the word out among players and online viewers.
Fuslie is second for her gameplay broadcast of the Kingdom Hearts video game series, which also came to Steam in June. A Square Enix press release added that fans would get to enjoy 'hundreds of hours of content across ten magical experiences that make up the Dark Seeker Saga.' This helped the American creators' stream collect the highest PV among the top five mentioned here.
Third is SypherPK, the highly popular Fortnite creator who had a sponsored stream alongside Old Spice. It was replete with him battling a certain Mr Odor as part of the promotions alongside playing the newest update in the game, Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3. Titled 'Wrecked,' the season added a whole new biome – the wasteland – to the island's south and a few fresh map Points of Interest for players to explore.
WehSing comes on fourth for his sponsored stream of Reus 2, a game released last year that also found its way to Steam in June. This simulation-strategy title from Abbey Games that sees players play god as they create planets and ecosystems has so far received an 'Overwhelmingly Positive' review score on the video game-sharing platform.
Rounding off things for this blog is Josuiji Shinri Ch., the English language VTuber part of the all-boys group, Holostars. His live broadcast consisted of the streamer playing Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, an adventure, survival horror game from Koei Tecmo. It was sponsored by PlayAsia, an online retailer of entertainment products from Asia, including video games, digital codes, movies, Music, electronics, software, and apparel.
