Call of Duty: Warzone

March 2020. Call of Duty went free-to-play with Warzone and every streamer on the planet switched games that week. We dropped into Verdansk alongside millions of others, and it was instant chaos—servers overloaded, everyone figuring out meta weapons, the battle royale formula colliding with Modern Warfare's aggressive movement and gunplay. We streamed Warzone hard in those first months because it was impossible not to. The game was everywhere. We came back in 2024, checking in on what Warzone 2.0 had become, seeing how the map had evolved, watching new seasons bring new weapons and drama. But those early days in 2020 were the real magic—the novelty of a free-to-play Call of Duty, the scramble for kills, the chaos of a franchise discovering battle royales.

Two hundred nineteen hours across five years shows Warzone's momentum on our channel. We averaged 502 viewers—higher than expected for what many considered a F2P distraction—with peaks hitting 1,738. That's one of our strongest performances in any title. Over 122,000 hours watched means the Warzone audience was massive and stayed engaged. Battle royales pull casual viewers who normally wouldn't tune in, and Warzone during its 2020 peak was the center of gaming culture. We captured that moment and the lingering community that kept playing through 2024.

Warzone was a cultural moment on our channel. Launch month in 2020 was absolute madness—chat was vibrant, engaged, celebrating wins, mourning squad wipes. The free-to-play model meant our casual viewers showed up alongside hardcore players. We had conversations about meta loadouts, cursed weapon balance changes, watched esports emerge around the title. Warzone created some of the biggest viewer peaks we'd achieved in any battle royale. The 2,301 followers gained tells you something—this game brought new people to the channel and they stuck around.
