CoD: Advanced Warfare Takes Over as Most Streamed Console Game in 2014

It probably doesn’t come as much of a surprise that Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare has become one of the popular console games among social networks right now, mainly in the broadcasting department. According to Twitch, over 75,000 gamers jumped on their channels and began sharing content which has gained over 26 million views during the title’s first launch week.

“Since the Call of Duty community on Twitch is extremely passionate, we are not surprised that Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare set a milestone for most streamed console game of the year based on launch week comparisons,” said Ernest Le, Director, Publisher & Developer Partnerships, Twitch. “Our community spent over an hour a day watching and engaging with people playing the game, illustrating the incredibly strong appeal of live interactive video.”

That’s quite an impressive number, although it falls a bit short of the milestone set by the League of Legends finals, which hit over 32 million views in 2013. Nevertheless, Advanced Warfare looks like it will continue to climb in popularity as Michael Condrey, Co-Founder and Studio Head for Sledgehammer Games comments: “The team at the studio is thrilled to see players think the game we’ve poured our heart and soul into making these last three years is not only fun to play, but very exciting to watch.”
