What is Borderlands 2 about?

Five years after the events of Borderlands, a valuable mineral called "Eridium" starts flourishing through Pandora's crust. Handsome Jack, the leader of the Hyperion Corporation, secures this new resource and uses it to rule over Pandora with an iron fist. Meanwhile, rumors of an even larger Vault hidden on Pandora spread across the galaxy, drawing a new group of Vault Hunters to the planet in search of it.

Should I stream Borderlands 2 on Twitch?

12/100 · Closed off· 20 viewers per streamer on paper

Probably not. The two biggest English streams hold 92% of the 328 people watching Borderlands 2 in English, leaving about 26 for everyone else — and the category empties when they log off.

About 26 of the 328 English viewers here are not watching the two biggest English streams — roughly 2 each if you split it with the 12 other English streams below them. With ten viewers you would sit at #5.

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 Borderlands 2?

Is Borderlands 2 too saturated on Twitch?

Not crowded, but not open either. Only 18 people are streaming Borderlands 2, and the two biggest English streams hold 92% of the 328 English viewers — so the room is quiet because the audience is already committed, not because it is waiting for you.
