World War Z

World War Z swarmed StreamerHouse in 2019 with an impressive 1,105 peak viewers, as Saber Interactive's co-op zombie shooter launched April 16 during the Epic Games Store exclusive era. This was Left 4 Dead spiritual successor meets the 2013 film, featuring the proprietary Swarm Engine rendering up to 500 zombies on-screen simultaneously in gorgeous, terrifying waves. The streams captured that launch week magic when the game shocked everyone by actually being good, selling 1 million copies in a week and nearly 2 million in a month. That 1,105-viewer peak showed strong audience interest in four-player co-op zombie carnage, watching streamers get overwhelmed by tidal waves of undead across global locations. WWZ became 2019's surprise hit, proving there was still massive appetite for quality co-op horde shooters. StreamerHouse rode that zombie wave as the game defied expectations.
