Although the entire game streaming industry saw a considerable viewership drop in the past year, Meta`s Facebook Gaming has suffered the most brutal hit. The platform`s steep decline in viewership in 2022 and the first months of 2023 cut its market share to only a small piece of what it used to have.<\/p>\n

According to data presented by CasinosEnLigne.com<\/a>, Facebook Gaming now has only a 3% share in global game streaming viewership, or one-third of its market share last year.<\/p>\n

Game streaming viewership continues fading away across all markets and platforms. After falling for six straight quarters in a row, the global game streaming audience slightly recovered in the first months of 2023 but remained deep below the 2021 levels. According to Stream Hatchet data, gamers and eSports fans spent 7.4 billion hours watching gaming titles on streaming platforms in Q1 2023, or 16% less than in the same quarter a year ago.<\/p>\n

Facebook Gaming had a huge part in this drop. The platform`s live-streaming viewership plummeted in 2022, dropping by a massive 56% year-over-year. In Q3 2022, Facebook announced it would shut down its standalone gaming app in response to an already declining audience. As a result, the creator base for the company\u2013unique channels plunged by 74% YoY, going down from 2.17 million in 2021 to just 559,000 by the end of last year.<\/p>\n
