The highest number of concurrent online users on Twitch is 2.63 million, which is twice as high , While viewing time on Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook increased by more than 129%.
In addition, during the TGA awards process, more than 9,000 live hosts simultaneously broadcast on Twitch, tweets on Twitter related topics increased by 31%, the number of unique users increased by 65%, and the number of #TheGameAwards tags used simultaneously increased to 107%. .
This year #TheGameAwards viewership grew over 83% to more than 83 million livestreams.
This is beyond our wildest expectations; I was just happy we could even produce the show this year.

Regardless of whether the player agrees with this year’s award winner or not, TGA 2020 is indeed compared with the past in terms of sound volume. It is not only the year with the most enthusiastic response (in various senses) from players, but also the most topical. One year.
