The year 2021 is coming to an end and it's time to take stock of Twitch. If the year was marked by a leak massif, revealing personal data about streamers, and punctuated by waves of online harassment, it was also colored by the new Z Event record.
But beyond the events, what were the most watched games on Twitch in 2021?
