Bethesda Softworks Viewership Up 29% Since Microsoft Acquisition

This week, Stream Hatchet analyzes Bethesda Softworks live streaming viewership. Bethesda games are now available via the Xbox Games Pass, the first major announcement for the studio since its Microsoft acquisition in September 2020. Top titles like The Elder Scrolls Online and Fallout 76 have been instrumental in retaining viewers. However, special events like game reveals or newly added in-game content often generates short-term spikes. Even popular streamers broadcasting playthroughs, like summit1g, have created substantial jumps.
