While Blackout’s viewcount is impressive, it still doesn’t take the mantle of Fornite, which was recorded as having 696,749 concurrent viewers on Twitch as of June 12, 2018.
However, that isn’t to say that Blackout won’t eclipse the title. Many Fortnite players – Ninja in particular – have stated that the game will receive massive support, and other Fortnite pros ahve been streaming Blackout, as well.

The Battle Royale genre continues to grow, with Blackout being the latest addition to the category. The genre’s development has made major shifts in the streaming world: Fortnite eclipsed Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds in mid-January of 2018, and has continued to earn double PUBG’s numbers across Twitch.
With Blackout’s recent popularity, that trend could continue – but it’s still too early to tell.
