Work centers, universities, schools, stadiums have been closed, concerts, theater, etc. have been suspended. The result is that people stay at home . What to do? Many have opted for their favorite platforms such as HBO, Netflix, Prime Video, etc. Gamers have pulled on Twitch.

According to Twitch data, viewers have doubled visits in March, based on data from March last year. Since last week , Twitch has increased viewership by 1 million, from 1.18 million to 2.2. To substantiate these data, TwitchTracker is used, which shows us which are the most broadcasted video games, such as the case of League of Legends, Fortnite and GTA V.

Just last week, viewers consumed 28, 264, 690 League of Legends hours. As it was not otherwise, Italy, the country that has taken the most restrictive measures in Europe, has increased its internet traffic by 70%. We know this thanks to reports by Telecom Italia and Bloomberg.

As more and more people are staying home, forced to telecommute, global internet traffic has increased by 29%. So, we understand that this was extrapolated to Twitch, which doubles its viewers this month and the streamers rub their hands with it.
