10 Popular Games that Twitch Helped Put on the Map

Hurtworld

This first person survival game was first released in 2015, and while it did have a smaller niche audience, it had nothing near the following it does today because of Twitch. Lirik, one of the biggest streamers on the site, had his fans collectively vote for him to play this title. After he played it and showcased the game to his thousands of viewers, sales skyrocketed for the game. It is estimated by Twitch itself that it is responsible for 10% of the total sales of Hurtworld. And with just over half a million copies sold since launch, that’s not too shabby.
