From the cozy games to the horror hits, Twitch breaks down the “State of Gaming” in 2026

Twitch's "Just Chatting" category has long produced the platform's biggest viewership numbers, but that doesn't mean that Twitch's gamers are irrelevant. To the contrary, both competitive and casual gaming streamers continue to thrive on the Amazon-owned hub, and the Twitch State of Gaming 2026 report has the stats to prove it. The latest State of Gaming report breaks down the 8.6 billion hours of gaming-related watch time that occurred on Twitch between January 1 and September 1 of this year. Within that sample, a few familiar faces stand tall. Jynxzi, who gained fame with Rainbow Six Siege streams before becoming an all-around tour de force in the streaming world. Jynxzi generated 78 million hours of Twitch watch time during the measurement period by playing games like Rocket League, Rainbow Six Siege, and League of Legends.
