On average the service played host to 550,000 concurrent viewers at any given moment, with most tuning in from the U.S., Canada, Brazil, Sweden, France, Russia, Poland, Germany Taiwan, and the U.K.
At the top of its game Twitch's concurrent viewer count rose to 2.1 million. November was its most active month for broadcasting, with the service at one point hosting 35,610 concurrent broadcasts. As for the games themselves, the top 10 most-watched games of last year were (from most- to least-streamed):
- League of Legends
- Counter-Strike
- Dota 2
- Hearthstone
- Minecraft
- H1Z1
- Destiny

(FIFA 15 and Destiny were the only new titles to break into the top 10 last year.)
