Twitch vs. Steam
The latest hourly Twitch viewership snapshot, next to each game's current Steam player count. Games big on Twitch aren't always big on Steam, and vice versa — watched isn't the same as played.
The latest hourly Twitch snapshot counts 466,395 viewers across the 24 games on this page. The most-watched is Counter-Strike with 99,144 viewers against 13,389 current Steam players. 14 of the 24 also appear in Steam's official top 100 by players.
The widest gap between watching and playing is Alien: Isolation: 4,518 Twitch viewers against 418 Steam players, 11 viewers for every player. 3 of the 20 games with a Steam player sample on record have more Twitch viewers than current Steam players. 4 have no player sample and are left out of those comparisons.

Twitch viewership via hourly census snapshots; Steam player counts are the latest recorded CCU sample. A "—" means no CCU sample is on record for that game.
How to read this page: viewers per player divides a game's Twitch viewers in the latest hourly snapshot by its latest recorded Steam concurrent-player sample. The two numbers may be taken at different moments, and a Twitch viewer is not necessarily a player, so the ratio is a rough indicator of how much a game is watched relative to how much it is played, not a precise rate. Only rows with a player sample above zero and a known game name are considered for the ratio, and the summary covers the games in the table, which are the most-watched on Twitch in that snapshot. See the methodology for how the census collects its data.
