This week’s live streaming ads of the week were dominated by game partners, including The Quarry and Veiled Experts.
In first place was Squeezie with his partnered stream with the new game, The Quarry. His sponsored stream garnered 133k hours watched with a peak concurrent viewership of 35.1k. Released on Friday, June 10th, The Quarry is the newest game from 2K Games. Often compared to Until Dawn, The Quarry is a survival horror game where the player has to make choices that could lead to their character’s death.
The Quarry also had the second top sponsored stream of the week, with CohhCarnage. His stream reached 64.8k hours watched with a peak viewership of 21.6k viewers. CohhCarnage is a great choice for game publishers to work with, as he plays and reviews a wide variety of games and gets great engagement with his audience. Cohh talks through his playthrough of a game, and is both pragmatic and entertaining in his approach to a new game.
With the release of the game and through sponsoring several large streamers, The Quarry was able to hit the 15th top game spot this week with 9.5 million hours watched. While single-player narrative storyline games don’t tend to last at the top spots, sponsoring several large streamers as 2K did was a good way to get the game out in front of a bunch of gamers eyes.

Veiled Experts Takes Third Place
In third place for live streaming ads of the week was shroud with another game, Veiled Experts. His stream garnered 51.6k hours watched with a peak viewership of 29.8k.
