Twitch confirmed the record-breaking viewership last night, shortly after TheGrefg’s stream finished and his Fortnite skin was unveiled.
More than 2 million people tuned into Twitch last night to watch Spanish Fortnite streamer David “TheGrefg” MartÃnez reveal his own skin in the game, utterly smashing the platform’s concurrent viewer record.
At one point, total viewership to TheGrefg’s channel hit 2.4 million – nearly quadruple the record set by fellow Fortnite fan Ninja back in 2018 when he played the battle royale with rapper Drake and notched up 635,000 viewers.
Then there’s the sheer size of the new record, which feels like it may not be totalled for some time.
