Even before the release kicked off, the game was actively streamed on Twitch – and evidently found an interested audience. Because: before the clock struck 6:00 PM, over 753,000 viewers were already watching live (as of 5:59 PM, February 8).
This placed Lost Ark ahead of the Just Chatting category (about 600,000 viewers) and significantly ahead of other games like GTA Online (about 180,000), League of Legends (about 180,000) and Valorant (about 150,000).
Numbers continue to rise: At exactly 6:00 PM, Lost Ark even broke the 800,000 viewer mark, by 6:06 PM there were over 900,000, and the game hit the million at 6:15 PM. The trend is clearly rising on release night.
