Grand Theft Auto 5 has hit another m💛ilestone and become Twitch's most-viewed game o🅠f March, the first time it has ever done so.
This new achievement for GTA 5 was in partnership with Rainmaker.gg, who supply data and inf𒈔ormat🔯ion related to the world of streaming.", which supply data and information related to the world of streaming. According to it, people watched 181 million hours of the game in March, propelling GTA🌺 to the top slot for the first time ever.
StreamElements notes that this isꦡ the first time GTA 5 has ever reached the top spot on Twitch, which is particularly impressive considering the game is more than seven years old at this point. Comparing GTA 5 to the game below it, League of Legends, it's clear why GTA has won, with 40 million more hours watched in March.
The only category that is above GTA 5 in March is "just chatting", which apparently always holds the top spot, and isn't categorised as a game. Other titles on the list include heavy-h🌞itters like League of Legends in third place, Fortnite in fourth and Warzone in fifth. All of the games besides League of Legends have seen an increase in viewership this month.
One element that has apparently propelled the game forward is the rise♎ of character role-playing in recent years. Role-playing servers have become especially popular over the last fe🏅w months, and have seen more and more streamers trying to live out specific lives through GTA 5.
It's also important to note that, acc🍨ording to StreamElements, Twitch streaming data isn't available from before 2016 so it's not clear how well the game has done in the past. With Twitꦚch getting more and more popular over the years, the numbers are only going to increase, so GTA 5's success now is actually even more impressive.
GTA 5 might be reaching even more of a crowd later in April, as it'll be coming to Xbox Game Pass 🤡alongside s🅷ome other titles. The game's ongoing popularity can mostly be attributed to GTA Online, which re꧟cently officially implemented a fan-made patch to speed up the infamous loading times.
