Who will reach the most watch hours on German Twitch in 2024? The race is tighter than ever this year. In 2022 and 2023, Elis “eliasn97” Nerlich clearly won the competition and became the most-watched streamer in Germany, but 2024 is going to be really close. For the first time since 2022, a change at the top seems imminent.
Who will it come down to this year? In the last 365 days, it looks like this (via sullygnome):
- eliasn97 is in the lead with 67.37 million watched hours. He has held the top spot since summer 2022.
- He is followed by Papaplatte with 65.37 million watched hours.
Last year, eliasn97 had almost 16 million hours ahead of Papaplatte, but he has significantly closed the gap. He can even be seen on Pro7 now, although it’s not understandable.
The last time there was such a close race at the top of Twitch in Germany was in 2021: At that time, MontanaBlack won with just under 2 million hours ahead of Trymacs. In summer 2022, the Berliner Elias Nerlich finally overtook MontanaBlack.
Here we deal with the most relevant German streamers:
Papaplatte grows again at a high level by 40%
What is so impressive about Papaplatte’s numbers? The streamer Papaplatte has made a huge comeback in recent years after barely playing a role on Twitch in 2022, losing 87% of his watch hours because he streamed significantly less than in previous years:
- In 2022, Papaplatte had “only” 3.8 million watch hours and ranked 48th in the annual rankings in Germany.
- In 2023, his channel grew 11-fold and it was enough for 2nd place.
- In 2024, Papaplatte has grown again at a high level by 40%, while eliasn97 could only increase by 5% in watch hours.
It looks like eliasn97 can also claim the top spot on German Twitch again in 2024, but Papaplatte could overtake him in 2025.
The biggest streamer in Germany in 2024 is, by the way, Honeypuu with about 5.4 million watched hours ahead of Fibii with 3.5 million watched hours.
Internationally, KaiCenat is light-years ahead
How does German Twitch compare to other countries?
Kai Cenat is extremely far ahead: The US streamer has 188 million watched hours, almost 3 times as many viewers as the strongest German streamer. The market is huge. KaiCenat has particularly impressed with events. He was able to grow again at an extremely high level by 64% in 2024.
In 2nd place worldwide and leading in Europe is the Spaniard Ibai, but he has lost 11% of his watch hours compared to the previous year.
Risers are streamers clearly associated with a game
The big risers this year are the Rainbow Six Siege specialist Jynxzi, who has grown by 112% and is ranked 4th worldwide.
And the LoL specialist Caedrel. The Brit has grown by 217% and ranks 6th.
The German duo eliasn97 and Papaplatte are ranked 10th and 11th, just one place ahead of Asmongold on his second channel.
