Tainted Grail reaches 55,000 Stream views

Tainted Grail has now been out for a day and it is clear that the game is going to gaining popularity. On Twitch specifically, the game is boasting some impressive numbers for an independently made game without a huge publisher behind it. According to the picture that I have attached here, the game got over 55,000 viewers on Twitch streams.

How does this compare to other games?

The closest comparison is the Obsidian developed game, Avowed, which came out earlier this year. That game was largely seen as a failure as its player base basically abandoned it in favor of other titles such as Kingdom Come 2 or Oblivion Remastered Edition which had much higher player counts in comparison to it.

As you can clearly see, Avowed had more players watching at its peak in February. However, the game basically has hardly any viewers now. The game also only has about 500 players playing it now. In comparison, Kingdom Come 2: Deliverance is still having a healthy 20,000 players peak on the weekends, which shows the staying power of this game.

Why is Tainted Grail Twitch Streams so low in comparison to other RPGs?

This game is not a mainstream release. While the game’s studios, Questline and Awaken Realms has published it, there are still hurdles. In a market as saturated with games as the Steam marketplace, Tainted Grail has to stand out from the competition. Oblivion Remastered is taking traffic away for sure and I am not surprised it has been performing so well with players.

Tainted Grail is an independent title in the truest sense. It hasn’t been picked up by any major publishing companies, which means that word of mouth is going to what helps this game become a success.

The three main areas for Tainted Grail to get attention are:

1. Steam
2. YouTube
3. Twitch

These three social media platforms are the main places where the awareness around the game can grow.

Currently, the game is looking quite strong for an independent Skyrim coming out of the Republic of Poland. Hopefully, it is not an Avowed but a true spiritual sequel to the Elder Scrolls.
