With their entertaining, tight gameplay that pits players against one another in exciting matches to the death, these Battle Royale titles have proven themselves to be eminently watchable and, as a result, extremely playable. >However, when its closed beta period started, Rare’s upcoming multiplayer pirate adventure Sea of Thieves soared past these other games to become number one on both Twitch and Mixer. The beta attracted more than 300,000 players and more than 14 million hours of footage was watched across the web. For a game that’s not even fully launched yet that’s pretty impressive.
