  • Games with dedicated communities

How to Find Them

  1. Check Twitch/Kick browse by viewer:channel ratio
  2. Look for games where top streamers have 50-200 viewers
  3. Time new releases for early coverage

Combine With Visibility

Even in low-competition categories, initial visibility helps. streamhub.shop gives you the edge to appear at the top of smaller categories.
