Jump directly to the updated comparison.<\/a><\/em><\/p>

Ninja shocked the gaming world yesterday when he announced he\u2019s leaving Twitch to stream exclusively on Mixer, Microsoft\u2019s live streaming platform. As one of the largest streamers on the largest gaming live streaming site, many see it as a pretty big shake up and an opportunity for Mixer to make up some ground. Will his viewers follow him over to Mixer, or be hesitant to venture from Twitch and find other broadcasters to watch instead?<\/p>

Today is his debut stream on Mixer and we\u2019re curious:\u00a0
How does Ninja\u2019s debut Mixer stream compare to his viewership on Twitch?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

The Mixer Debut<\/h2>

Expectations are high for Ninja\u2019s first stream on Mixer. Going live from Lollapalooza definitely adds some energy from the crowd. Many are curious, will there be any major changes from his content on Twitch? Will he be utilizing any features that are exclusive to Mixer?<\/p>

Ninja is live as I\u2019m typing this. We\u2019ll update as the stream continues. But as of 1pm PT, here\u2019s how things are looking.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

**UPDATE 3pm PT** Hit his stride around 1:40pm, topping out at 93,148 concurrent viewers. Really brought the average up as well.<\/p>

**UPDATE 5pm PT** Was pretty consistent most of the afternoon, this is the first sign of things slowing down. He’s been playing some solos to pass time between tournament matches, expecting things to pick back up when the stakes are a bit higher.\u00a0<\/p>

Last Week at Twitch<\/h2>

As the end of his time at Twitch was during the Fortnite World Cup, we\u2019ve ignored the replays of that event, and jumped straight to his last few solo streams that are more in line with his regular content.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Note about stream duration:<\/i> Twitch streams averaged around 6 hours per stream. The Mixer debut stream has been running a bit longer going on 7+ at this point.<\/p>

Off to a strong start! Of course with all the hype and coverage the announcement has received it’s expected this first stream will get larger than normal viewership. There was a large uptick around 1:40pm PT that lead to peak viewership and really driving up the average. By 5pm PT concurrents dipped a bit, bringing the average down slightly (but keeping really close to the 63,232 tabulated at 3pm).\u00a0 We’ll continue updating over the course of the day. Will be interesting to see where things settle and what channel growth looks like over the next few months.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
