Expectedly, it was the
Xbox Games Showcase & Starfield Direct 2023 that ended up as the most popular event. Thanks to news on games like Fable and Clockwork, as well as the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 DLC, it did
2.3M Peak Viewers. This also made it the most popular exhibition in terms of average online viewers among the four editions held so far. Of course, there were also updates on huge titles like Starfield, Persona, and Star Wars, meaning interest among fans was pretty high.
The
Summer Game Fest 2023 was second on this list, hitting just
over 2 million concurrent viewers at the peak. This was because the audience's attention was attracted by Mortal Kombat 1’s first gameplay trailer, details about Marvel's Spider-Man 2, the announcement of Sonic Superstars, and trailers for the new parts of Alan Wake and Path of Exile.
Coming in third was the
Ubisoft Forward 2023, the only other gaming conference to
pass 1M PV, thanks to more details on titles like Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown and The Crew Motorfest. This helped it pick up the slack of last year’s event, which is the least popular in the series, but with so much to look forward to in 2023, the stats are looking up.
Other popular gaming conferences were the
Capcom Showcase Livestream 2023, which did
658K PV, and the
PC Gaming Show 2023, which recorded
622K PV. At the former, fans got a taste of games like Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective, Exoprimal, Dragon’s Dogma II, and Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess. The PC Gamer Show displayed information on titles such as Nivalis, Teardown, Warhaven, and Frostpunk 2.
