Genre Trends in Chinese

How Twitch game genres compare in Chinese-language streams over the last 4 weeks.

Which game genres are most popular with Chinese-language streamers on Twitch? The charts below rank every genre we track by how many streams played it, how many distinct streamers took part, and how many hours they broadcast in Chinese over the last 4 weeks. For indie game developers, that shows where an engaged Chinese-speaking streamer audience already exists for games like yours. The data is rebuilt daily from live Twitch streams.

Chinese streams have been collected since 2 November 2026, so these numbers cover 5 days so far, not 4 weeks.
