Genre Trends in German

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

Which game genres are most popular with German-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 German over the last 4 weeks. For indie game developers, that shows where an engaged German-speaking streamer audience already exists for games like yours. The data is rebuilt daily from live Twitch streams.
