It seems like Kick‘s acquisition of xQc is a deal that’s going to yield a lot of revenue to the green platform. The Canadian recently announced his decision to join Kick after Twitch’s controversial streaming regulations irked him. As a result, the popular Overwatch streamer signed a deal worth $100 million with the up-and-coming streaming platform. The staggering amount made xQc’s worth to be equivalent to many traditional athletes. Now it looks like the action is much more beneficial to Kick than initially anticipated.

Recent statistics show xQc’s first few streams on Kick are already creating a whirlpool and Kick’s viewership numbers have skyrocketed significantly.

xQc proving his worth

xQc announced his step over to Kick last Friday and went live on Saturday. The popular streamer has a long history on Twitch. Since 2020, xQc was the most-watched streamer on the Amazon-owned platform. However, as Twitch announced their policy changes in April, xQc was among many streamers who expressed their discontent. The purple platform’s sponsored content streaming policies made many streamers, including xQc and MrBeast, announce that they will be shifting their working bases somewhere else.

However, Kick’s streaming numbers increased further to reach an all-time high with the streamer’s next video, which was viewed by a staggering 86 thousand users. With the second video, Kick reached 458.3K Peak Viewers, surpassing the platform’s previous peak viewers number by 19%.
