Twitch’s E3 livestreams watched by a staggering 925K concurrent viewers

Microsoft, Sony, Ubisoft, and Nintendo all still need to kick off their presentations and announcements for the massive Electronic Entertainment Expo trade show in Los Angeles, but plenty of people have already tuned into the event and its surrounding happenings.

Twitch, a subsidiary of Amazon, said that 925,000 people tuned in simultaneously to the scores of livestream channels broadcasting content from E3 on Sunday. That’s up from 840,000 on the Sunday of last year’s E3. And this is even before the show starts — all of this was from publishers EA’s and Bethesda’s lead-in events. That growth for concurrent viewership shows that more and more people are learning about games by watching content on Twitch from their favorite personalities.
