Achieving more than 10 million hours watched during the day, the game's peak was yesterday at 1.2 million users, according to statistics from SullyGnome. No other game has reached higher levels in Lost Ark Items the past two weeks and only Minecraft has experienced a greater audience during the past month.
Asmongold lead the team in terms of audience participation with a total of 1.86 million hours of viewing by himself in 9.25 hours. He averaged 201.44 viewers, and reached a peak of 284,644.
The game Lost Ark wasn't necessarily the main reason behind the success of Asmongold, but it's impossible for a brand-new MMO to get its foot in the door without the most well-known streamer in the genre giving it a boost.
The day before was the first day Asmongold broadcast on his official channel after last September. Asmon is known to take time off from streaming on his main channel from time to time and this time, his absence was due partly to the passing of his mother, something that he's expressed his thoughts on several times in posts to social media.
The highest viewership he had since the break broke records for personal bests for on the primary Asmongold channel. In the past, his highest concurrent viewer count was in cheap Lost Ark Gold the latter part of August, 2019 in conjunction with the release of World of Warcraft Classic. During that stream, he hit a record at 263,720 viewers.
