Should I stream Cities: Skylines on Twitch?

0/100 · Closed off· 1 viewers per streamer on paper

Probably not. The only English stream here holds all 1 English viewers — once you take it out there is nothing left to reach.

The only English stream here holds all 1 English viewers. There is nothing left over for a second.

Only 1 of the 4 viewers here (25%) are watching in English. 1 of the 3 live streams are in English.

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 Cities: Skylines?

Right now

3 right now, to 4 viewers between them. 1 of them is streaming in English. Counted live from Twitch and refreshed every 15 minutes.

Is Cities: Skylines too saturated on Twitch?

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

  • “Instead of spending lots of money of Cities: Skylines II, the original game is 4 times cheaper and is decently fun. It's slightly upsetting that the DLCs are kind of expensive, but I recommend getting a few.”

  • “Close to unplayable without the mods, so make sure you get to know Steam Workshop for this game. Good time sink if you into stuff like that, but get's quite boring once you reach your arbitraty goal and then it's time to create a new city and delete the previo…”

  • “Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this game. Though I played for more than 100 hrs, I don't think it's a great game. I had a lot of fun, but in the end it becomes repetitive and there is very little new you can do after achieving maybe 80k-90k citizens. And yo…”
