Netflix Premiere and Initial Reach
The 27-minute Extended Look debuted exclusively on Netflix, creating a temporary paywall before reaching YouTube and other platforms. Netflix reported more than 30 million views in the first few days among account holders. Streamers were permitted to broadcast the trailer live provided they added their own reactions.
Live Viewer Peaks and Top Streams
Stream Charts recorded a peak of more than 3.97 million concurrent viewers across all platforms, exceeding Summer Game Fest's prior mark of 3.81 million. The presentation was re-streamed by 9,038 channels for a total of 5.2 million hours watched. IlloJuan led individual streams with a peak of 233,520 viewers, followed by Rubius at 191,056 and IShowSpeed at 177,887.
Platform Shares and Viewer Sentiment
Twitch accounted for 44 percent of total livestreaming hours, with YouTube at 34.8 percent and Kick at 20.2 percent. More than 100,000 chat messages appeared during the three-hour window, the majority neutral. Positive comments made up 11-15 percent while negative remarks reached 17-20 percent, most of the latter aimed at technical issues rather than the game itself.
