Rocket League catapults up the Twitch rankings

MCV Staff 18th August 2015 Business News

The surprise hit of the summer has also proved a big hit with game streamers.

Twitch’s July report shows Rocket League was the fifth most streamed game of the month, following its release on PS4 and PC on July 7th.

Aware of the trends, the game’s developer Psyonix added a spectator mode in the racer’s latest patch.

League of Legends and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive retain their positions in first and second, with Dota 2 overtaking Hearthstone to claim fourth place, no doubt thanks to the vast interest attracted by The International.

Climbing up the rankings are World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor (9th, +3), gaming talk shows (10th, +6), Terraria (16th, +29), Arma III (17th, +10) and Path of Exile (20th, +23), which was boosted by the release of The Awakening. The only major slipper was Ark: Survival Evolved (14th, -9).

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
