Félix Lengyel, better known as xQc, is held in high regard for his gaming skills. And due to that, he’s maintained quite strong viewership numbers on Twitch for a long time now. However, this streak just saw itself stop, thanks to two new games that the streamer missed on streaming: Lost Ark and Elden Ring.

In case you missed it, xQc lost his top spot as the most viewed streamer on Twitch, for February 2022, to Fextralife. And the reason for this shocking outcome is due to him missing out on two highly trending titles, one of which was Elden Ring. In fact, one game was totally missing from his streams last month.

How Lost Ark Elden Ring resulted in the fall of xQc on Twitch!

According to Sullygnome, the platform that keeps track of Twitch stats and analysis, Fextralife was the most viewed streamer on the platform. This is for the month of February, the same month in which two immensely hit titles, Lost Ark and Elden Ring, made their debuts.

While playing Lost Ark (272 hours) and Elden Ring (36 hours and 45 minutes) contributed to Fextralife‘s most viewed streams, it was completely different for xQc. The latter ended up as the second-most-viewed streamer on Twitch. Talking of numbers, Fextralife’s channel gained 20,602,064 hours while xQc amassed 20,504,221 hours.

Simply because the gamer missed out on Lost Ark. In fact, he didn’t play it at all, to be precise. While he did engage himself with Elden Ring (41 hours), it wasn’t for an extended period, though.

Eventually, they both caused huge damage to xQc’s viewership numbers. Primarily it’s due to Lost Ark, as it played a massive role in making Fextralife number one for February.

Had xQc played the Amazon Game Studios’ MMO, the result could have been different. But it shouldn’t affect the streamer much; he will soon regain his position, hopefully.

As for Lost Ark and Elden Ring, they are both available for PC via Steam. The FromSoftware open-world title is also available for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X and S, and Xbox One.
