There’s even talk of esports being included in the Olympics.

Accelerated by the pandemic, viewership is huge and growing.

Take Twitch for example. In 2020, Twitch saw an average of 15 million daily active users. Over 2.2 million Twitch creators broadcast their games live on Twitch monthly. Twitch viewers consumed 18.6 billion hours of streamed video content in 2020.

Twitch reported each visitor averages a 90-minute viewing session. YouTube averages 40 minutes.

Jupiter Research estimates the global esports and games streaming business will be worth $3.5B by 2025 with prize money bigger than most professional sports today.

Crazy numbers. But an Olympic sport? Idk about that…
