Fortnite dominates Twitch with over 3 million viewers during Eminem live event
Fortnite is once again dominating Twitch, all thanks to its groundbreaking live event headlined by rapper Eminem.
Chapter 4 ofFortnitecame to an end in the grandest way possible, with countless players experiencingthe “Big Bang” eventlive in-game.
The “overwhelming attendance” led to a number of hiccups, however, and many players were forced to turn to their favorite streamers to catch all of the action.
And that seemed to be the preferred way of watching for many, as the live event dominated Twitch with 3,291,525 peak viewers on the platform, according toSullyGnome.
The live event waved goodbye to theincredibly successful OG mapand introduced many new gameplay features, modes, and more.
It all began with the complete destruction of the OG map as players were whisked away into the Fortnite multiverse. New game modes were then unveiled, including theall-new LEGO mode, which will transform players into LEGO characters in a blocky universe on a new Battle Royale map.
A newRocket Racing modewas also introduced as Fortnite teams up with Psyonix’s Rocket League for high-speed races using Rocket League vehicles.
But the highlight of the event for many was the interactiveFortnite Festival modein which players could spectate a live Eminem concert. Players engaged in rhythm-based gameplay, similar to Guitar Hero, while enjoying Eminem’s performances, including hits like “Lose Yourself” and “Godzilla.”
