The Most-Watched Streamers of Q3 2021

Popular streamers Felix Lengyel aka xQc and Alexandre Borba aka Gaules are two of the most-watched streamers on the internet, according to Stream Hatchet’s live streaming report for the third quarter of 2021.

A detailed live streaming report for the third quarter of 2021 was recently provided by Stream Hatchet. In recent months, xQc has reclaimed the title of most-watched streamer on the internet, while Ral “AuronPlay” Genes has a social reach of 50.4 million.

YouTubers, on the other hand, dominate the top female streamers list, with Rachel “Valkyrae” Hofstetter and virtual YouTuber Usada Pekora among the top five most-watched female streamers in 2021. Valkyrae has the best social reach among female artists, capping up a fantastic third quarter for the YouTube star.

The report’s most striking finding is that none of the top 10 content creators in terms of audience are female, with the top three being xQc, Gaules, and Victor “Loud Coringa” Augusto. In the second quarter of 2021, xQc had a total viewership of 90 million hours. The streamer was live for 167 fewer hours in the third quarter than the previous quarter, yet 41 million hours were watched.

Despite the lower frequency of streams, xQc received 13 million more hours than Gaules, who was followed by AuronPlay and Loud Coringa, who each received 33 million hours. xQc, on the other hand, was ranked fifth in terms of social reach, with AuronPlay having a total reach of 50.4 million. With a total social reach of 26.5 million, Spanish streamer Ibai Llanos came in second on the list.

Furthermore, Valkyrae is the only non-Vtuber in the top 5 female creators in terms of overall viewership. Valkyrae’s overall YouTube Gaming statistics pale in comparison to xQc’s, with only 5.8 million hours of viewing in the third quarter of 2021.
