The Culling

The Culling hit the house in 2016 and we watched it detonate. Xaviant's early battle royale pulled massive numbers—1,553 concurrent viewers at peak as the community was absolutely locked in. Despite the brief streaming window that year, the engagement was wild. Viewers came for the novelty of an early BR experiment, but the game's controversial updates and the eventual dominance of PUBG and Fortnite buried it. We got to be there for the moment when this genre-defining format was still untested and experimental.
