The Kick streaming platform has enjoyed an astronomical bump in viewership with several streamers breaking their own viewership records in October 2024.
Billing itself as the “most rewarding gaming and live streaming platform,” Kick was established in October 2022 before officially launching in January 2023.
Of course, the platform’s budding rivalry with Twitch has contributed to its early successes. This especially holds true given that several Twitch streamers made the switch over to Kick.
While Kick has slowly proven it’s worth its rivalry to Twitch, it’s now got the stats to prove it, as October 2024 proved to be a record-breaking month in several ways.
Kick breaks viewership record by 33%
In October, the average number of viewers on Kick surpassed 360.7K – a 33% increase from September, according to Streamcharts.
This new record comes only a few months since the latest record, when the site had an average of 271K viewers in July 2024.
In terms of what people were watching, “Just chatting” streams were the most popular, with over 58.98 million hours watched in October – an increase of 25% compared to September. The IRL section took second place, growing by 114% and surpassing Slots & Casino in total hours watched.
Streamers break their own records in busy month
The most active streamer in the IRL category was N3on, whose channel generated over 18.4 million HW thanks to a massive 24-hour marathon.

After a brief break, sxb made his return to the top 10 most popular streamers on Kick. Even though he barely streamed in September, he came back in October with regular GTA V broadcasts, easily surpassing 4 million hours watched.
