Just within an hour after its official launch, the viewership of the game on Twitch skyrocketed to more than 1 million viewers. This sudden rise of viewers boosted the game to #1 spot on Twitch. Even at the time of writing this article the game is sitting on #1 spot with almost 500k viewers.Many veteran WoW streamers were also surprised by the numbers. One such streamer- Asmongold was sitting at his all-time highest number of 300k viewers and other streamers were also averaging 50k viewers.
With the game being “most-watched game” on Twitch right now, other streamers have also joined the hype train and are streaming the game. Shroud is also part of this hype train and currently, he is streaming the game on his channel.

But that’s not all, the game also saw a sharp rise in player logins. Many players reported about long login queues. Blizzard also confirmed reports of “very high demand” and in response, they added several more Realms (worlds) to handle the ongoing queues.

In total Blizzard had to open up an additional 8 Realms which makes the total number of launch available Realms to 29. Out of these, the majority are PvP type Realms.

Blizzard couldn’t have wished for any better launch time than this. Currently, all other games are struggling with updates and are losing viewership numbers. Previous #1 game on Twitch- Fortnite is having struggles with its latest Season 10 update which wasn’t well-received by players and due to which many streamers are having the struggle to pull the numbers and enjoy the game.

Only time will tell if WoW Classic will be able to retain this momentum and stay at the top. The excitement might go down a bit and the numbers will settle to give a clear picture. But nonetheless, the game is enticing and nostalgic at the same time for most of its players which should be enough to keep them entertained and ready for future content updates.
