Twitch viewers have watched more than 5,000 years worth of Fortnite in the past two weeks alone, making it the most popular game on the platform by a long shot. Epic's Battle Royale behemoth is now pulling in more viewers than League of Legends, in second place, and has double the viewers of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, which was watched for the equivalent of 2,517 years over the same period.

Fortnite's growth on Twitch is staggering: throughout December, around 2,000 channels were streaming the game to 40,000 viewers, on average. Now, 6,500 channels are streaming it to nearly 150,000 viewers at any given time. Meanwhile, PUBG has gone the other way, with a slight dip in both viewers and channels over the same period. Currently, it's averaging 4,000 channels and 65,000 viewers (less viewers than both League of Legends and CS:GO).
