Despite not even being officially released around the world yet, it looks like Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet <\/em>and Violet <\/em>is already one of the biggest games in the world on Twitch, and the hype will only continue to climb throughout the day.<\/p>
Because SV <\/em>is released on a staggered basis making sure that it releases around a similar time in all regions of the world, the game is currently only officially out far to the east and in Oceania. That hasn\u2019t stopped some people from pulling the New Zealand trick to get their hands on the game early, but many of the top channels currently streaming SV <\/em>on Twitch are Japanese streamers.<\/p>
Despite that relatively narrow window (and the much-talked-about performance issues of SV <\/em>on the Switch), SV <\/em>is one of the most-vie<\/a>wed games on Twitch. At the time of writing, it has the fourth-most viewers of any category on the platform, outperforming games like Overwatch 2<\/em>, League of Legends, CS:GO, <\/em>and Grand Theft Auto V.<\/em> The only categories that are managing to keep ahead of SV <\/em>at the moment are Just Chatting, the newly released Call of Duty: Warzone 2<\/em>, and VALORANT<\/em>.<\/p>
