Despite the Xbox One X releasing last year and no new hardware to speak of, fans around the world tuned in to see where Xbox would take its gaming lineup. Specially, 1.7 million fans did so on Twitch.
According to GitHyp, which tracks these statistics, Microsoft’s briefing was the most watched Twitch livestream ever. You can see where each press conference ranked on Twitch by their numbers below.
In comparison, the most popular stream of Fortnite drew in 1.5 million viewers on Twitch during the celebrity tournament held during this year’s E3 events.
It’s important to note that these numbers only take into consideration those who watched a livestream on Twitch, not Mixer or YouTube. Microsoft heavily promoted its own Mixer service this year, which a good number of fans gravitated towards as it unlocked MixPot rewards for their Xbox accounts.
