We already know that the players are not enough of a phenomenon called GTA 5. This seven-year-old game is still regularly among the best-selling games to this day. But GTA 5 has just recorded another success, unrelated to sales results.

If the statistics of analytics firm Stream Hatchet, which collects data on the viewership of streams on Twitch, YouTube and Facebook, are to be believed; there was a somewhat unexpected overtaking at the very top of the list of the most watched. The most watched game on streams over the last year was mostly the popular MOBA League of Legends. But lol in 2021 had to leave the lead to Rockstar's title.

In the first three months of 2021 GTA 5 achieved a viewership of 536.4 million hours through streaming. His victory over League of Legends was narrow – only 2.4 million hours more, but both of those titles were well ahead of the rest of the 300+ million-hour list. Here's what the list of most watched streaming games looks like in the first quarter of 2021:

1. Grand Theft Auto 5 (536,4 million hours)
2. League of Legends (534 million hours)
3. Fortnite (389 million hours)
4. Garena Free Fire (321,7 million hours)
5. Minecraft (319,3 million hours
6. PUBG Mobile (317,7 million hours)
7. Call of Duty: Warzone (289,9 million hours)
8. Rust (270,2 million hours)
9. Valorant (235,9 million hours
10. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (223 million hours)

The reason GTA 5 achieved this result lies in the growth of Role-Playing modes/servers for GTA Online in the PC version. This way of playing involves playing in the role of "normal" city dwellers and is closer to MMO than the traditional experience at GTA Online. The popularity of role-playing modes was primarily contributed by streamers, but some celebrities, including basketball players LeBron James and Kevin Durant, joined the trend.
