Unsurprisingly, Kai "KaiCenat" Cenat III was the most popular Twitch streamer in 2023. The creator's viewers and popularity skyrocketed this past year, so much so that he recently had Nicki Minaj on his channel. His watch time had over a 71% increase in 2023, and it shows no signs of slowing down.
Félix "xQc" Lengyel likely would have either retained his top spot from 2022 or at least come second on the list had he not made the move to Kick in 2023. The streamer reportedly signed a $100 million deal with the rival platform in June and has not looked back.
Tarik "tarik" Celik also cracked the top ten in 2023, recording about 74 million hours watched, with a peak of 215,660 viewers. The content creator was most known for his Valorant watch parties throughout 2023, sometimes earning himself more viewers than the official match broadcasts.
As 2024 unfolds, we will see if the top ten remains the same on Twitch, or if another streamer is destined to become the most popular creator on the platform in the new year.
