Recently, the statistics on the most-watched games on the Facebook Gaming platform have left many people surprised.
Facebook Gaming is highly popular in Southeast Asia, which explains why its Top 10 differs greatly from similar rankings on Twitch. In May, Streams Charts revealed the top 10 most-watched games on Facebook Gaming. The most popular title in May was PUBG Mobile, accumulating over 38 million hours watched in a month. It's worth noting that this survival game has been consistently leading on Facebook Gaming, much like Just Chat on Twitch.
Ranking second in popularity with 32.2 million hours watched is another surprise - Mobile Legends. This game became the top Peak Viewers, attracting over 520,000 viewers on May 20, the day of the SEA Games 31 finals.
Grand Theft Auto V made it to the Top 3 of Facebook Gaming in May, accumulating over 22.3 million hours watched in a month. However, the performance of Garena Free Fire, in fourth place, was only slightly lower by 1.5%. It's noteworthy that Free Fire is considered a 'national' game in Vietnam, but that wasn't enough to propel it into the Top 3.
Other game categories on Facebook Gaming in the Top 10 in May reached fewer than 10 million hours watched. Interestingly, Liên Quân, COD: Warzone, COD: Mobile, and Valorant together amounted to less than 22% compared to PUBG Mobile, and the combined results of these games were almost equal to Mobile Legends.
In May, the most popular channel on this platform was MPL Philippines, which accumulated over 1.7 million hours watched in a month. Notably, this result was achieved in just 4 days of broadcasting. The channel aired from May 18 to 20, covering the SEA Games 31 for Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. This demonstrates the immense influence of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang in the Southeast Asian region.
