Aliens: Fireteam Elite

Cold Iron Studios' love letter to Alien fans hit in 2021, and the house was all in. This wasn't a lore deep-cut or a spinoff nobody asked for—it was five classes, 30+ weapons, and actual Xenomorph hordes that felt threatening. We streamed the four campaigns, watching the team leverage their Cryptic Studios pedigree to nail co-op gunplay that clicked immediately. Each class had real flavor: Technician, Demolisher, Doc, Gunner, Recon—and the weapon variety meant loadout theory became a chat obsession. Cold Iron understood that Alien fans wanted atmosphere mixed with honest combat, not just jump-scares and slow-burn creepiness. The house spent 47.5 hours exploring those neon-lit station corridors, and UK retailers were right—this was the retail co-op shooter people wanted in 2021.

We brought 608 peak viewers to Aliens: Fireteam Elite, averaging 452 across 47.5 hours. The 21,716 hours watched showed the community appreciated a co-op shooter that delivered on premise. That 860-follower gain was one of our best for the tier, suggesting Alien IP + solid co-op mechanics = viewer retention.
