There were a few large esports events throughout January that contributed to Twitch’s success as well as the launch of popular games such as Palworld, which contributed to Twitch’s success as well.

Several standout titles were promoted via exclusive giveaway campaigns on the platform, among them Escape from Tarkov, which was deemed as one of the best titles of the year.

There was a month-on-month growth of more than 180% in streaming viewership for Escape from Tarkov, according to StreamElements.

Trying desperately to earn a share of the content creation kingdom, Kick.com has once again begun to sniff around Twitch’s heels in a bid to gain some ground.

Furthermore, Team Green saw significant growth in 2024, as the platform made its first forays into esports in order to reach an even greater audience by turning to esports for the first time.

It is similar to Twitch that Kick.com is following closely behind in terms of content creation, bringing up the rear and trying to gain some market share as quickly as possible in this crowded market.

In the year 2024, with Team Green making a major play into esports for the first time, aiming to bring in even more viewers, the platform has seen substantial growth as well to kick off the year with a bang.
