Splatoon on Twitch — competition and audience

Splatoon is primarily a team-based third-person shooter which is playable by up to eight players in 4-vs-4 matches, although the game also features a single-player campaign. Players control characters called Inklings, wich can change between human form and squid form. Transforming into a squid allows players to swim through ink of their own color, even up walls and through grates, hiding from the enemy and replenishing their ink supply in the process.

What is Splatoon about?

After the Great Zapfish, Inkopolis' primary power supply, is stolen, Cap'n Cuttlefish employs a Splatoon of Inklings to travel to the Octarians' secret underground base and retrieve it. Players assume the role of Agent 3 of the New Squidbeak Splatoon and traverse the treacherous landscape of Octo Valley in order to reclaim various lost Zapfish, Sunken Scrolls, and Power Eggs.

One stream holds 100% of the 8 viewers here, leaving about 0 for everyone else. When they log off, the category empties.

Almost nobody here is available to you — either one stream holds the room, or the category is empty, or you would be buried.

This reads the room as it is right now — how much of the audience is reachable and where you would land — not how many followers you would gain. That depends on you.

When is the best time to stream Splatoon?

Around 2am UTC, when Splatoon averages 3 viewers for every streamer competing — about 7.5× the room it has at 12am, its most crowded hour. Measured across 7 of the 24 hours so far.

Is Splatoon too saturated on Twitch?

Not crowded, but not open either. Only 1 person is streaming Splatoon, and that single stream holds 100% of the 8 viewers — so the room is quiet because the audience is already committed, not because it is waiting for you.
