Streaming Fortnite as a new streamer? You're competing with thousands. Smart game selection can change everything.
The Math of Categories
Twitch sorts by viewers. In Fortnite with 10,000 streamers, you're invisible at 0 viewers. In a game with 20 streamers, you're in the top 20.
What to Look For
- 10-100 streamers in category
- Engaged viewer base — Viewers actively browse
- Content you enjoy — You'll stream for hours
- Regular updates — Keeps community active
Great Categories in 2026
- Simulation games — Loyal communities
- Retro games — Nostalgia-driven viewers
- Creative/building — Interactive potential
- New releases — First week is golden
- Horror indies — High engagement
The Hybrid Strategy
- Build audience in low-competition games
- Occasionally stream popular games
- Use boosting to maintain visibility in bigger categories
Tools like streamhub.shop help when streaming competitive categories — boosting gets you noticed.
Conclusion
Don't fight thousands of streamers for scraps. Find your niche, build there, then expand.
