Tom Clancy’s The Division 2, which had its first beta start yesterday and only managed to peak with an underwhelming 105k concurrent viewers on Twitch.
And things only get worse considering that the viewer counts for The Division 2 are already down 30% compared to the first game’s 149k viewers three years ago on Twitch.
Although many have claimed over the years that viewer counts aren’t a good indicator for sales, after years of tracking viewer and player counts on GitHyp, we’re seeing that simply isn’t true.
Most recently, low viewer counts on Twitch indicated poor sales and problems for both Battlefield V and Fallout 76 way before Bethesda, EA, or the media officially reported on both failing to meet expectations.
But unlike Battlefield and Fallout, both of which hurt the reputations of once-beloved franchises, The Division‘s name already comes with the stigma of the first game — which explains the current lack of hype for the sequel and gamers lowering their expectations this time.
