Ninja and Tfue, two of the most popular Fortnite Twitch streamers, have seen a resurgence in popularity since the release of Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2, which reignited interest in the Battle Royale by removing buildings from the game.
Epic Games’ Fortnite is experiencing a renaissance as a result of the company’s decision to remove building from the game entirely – at least for the time being.
Furthermore, Chapter 3 Season 2 was released with a slew of new movement changes and weapons, but it’s the end of construction that has the community buzzing. While no-build Fortnite isn’t for everyone, it has certainly helped to reintroduce players who had previously abandoned the game.
Tfue and Ninja, two of Fortnite’s original star streamers, have returned to the game, and their popularity has skyrocketed. Since the release of Chapter 3 Season 2 of Fortnite, the two streamers have racked up a lot of views by streaming a lot of the game.
Ninja has only been streaming Fortnite since March 20th and has brought his average viewership to over 16k for the first time in over a year, according to stat tracking site sullygnome.
Ninja hasn’t had a lot of viewership when streaming games other than Fortnite, despite being the most followed channel on Twitch, but with the game’s resurgence, he’s seen a lot of fans return.
Since the introduction of the no-build mode, Tfue has seen a significant increase in popularity. Since the game’s release, the 24-year-old has streamed over 48 hours of Fortnite gameplay, bringing his average viewership back to over 11k, a massive 40% increase over his previous average.
Despite shifting his focus to Apex Legends over the last year, his return to Fortnite has boosted his viewership significantly.
Tfue and Ninja’s Twitch fame was built on Fortnite, and their return has catapulted them back to the top of the charts. Who knows how long that will last, though.
