SimCity on Twitch — competition and audience

This is a new SimCity that delivers unprecedented depth of simulation. The model-like world and detail of the simulation make this the most responsive and personal SimCity ever. This is also the most expansive city management game yet where you can control a region that delivers true multi-city scale and play a single city or up to 16 cities at once each with different specializations. Multiplayer is also a first for the series, which adds a new dimension to your game as your decisions impact both your city and your region and creates new ways to play by collaborating or competing to earn achievements.

Should I stream SimCity on Twitch?

0/100 · Closed off· 3 viewers per streamer on paper

Probably not. The only English stream here holds all 3 English viewers — once you take it out there is nothing left to reach.

The only English stream here holds all 3 English viewers. There is nothing left over for a second.

Almost nobody here is available to you — either a couple of streams hold the room, or nobody is watching in English, or the category is empty, or you would be buried.

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

Where to buy

All plain links straight to the official stores. Some will become affiliate links later, and they’ll be marked with a ♥ when they are — you’ll always be able to tell, and the unmarked ones will always be there.

How many people stream SimCity?

Right now

1 right now, to 3 viewers between them. Counted live from Twitch and refreshed every 15 minutes.

Is SimCity too saturated on Twitch?

Not crowded, but not open either. Only 1 person is streaming SimCity, and the one English stream holds all 3 English viewers — so the room is quiet because that audience is already committed, not because it is waiting for you.
