Activision announced that Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is the most streamed console game of 2014 in its launch week worldwide, based on data from game livestreaming firm Twitch.

Amazon’s Twitch division observed that more than 75,000 unique broadcasters shared gameplay from Sledgehammer Games’ Advanced Warfare — and viewers watched these streams over 26 million times. That’s a good sign about the popularity of Advanced Warfare. Activision says more than 40 million people play Call of Duty games every month, but it hasn’t yet revealed how many copies it sold during launch week. Analysts are assuming that means that sales aren’t as good as past years.
