Weekly Game Pulse - September 26

Each week, StreamGist highlights the best games to stream on Twitch that balance discoverability and streamer fit. Based on save-to-skip ratios and our GistScore from the past week, Fortnite, MapleStory: Worlds, EVE Online, and Animal Crossing: New Horizons all stand out. Each of these games scored above or near our discoverability average, meaning they’re drawing healthy audiences without being hopelessly top-heavy. They also have fresh or unique content that can make streams more engaging.

Here's the list: 

Fortnite - Fortnite has been experiencing a decline in its discoverability score, but it remains overwhelmingly popular and positively received. The Daft Punk crossover adds music-themed game modes and cosmetics that create colorful, clip-worthy moments. Epic also continues to expand Creative with new devices, templates, and tutorials, making it easier to host custom arenas or quirky minigames. The steady mix of live events and Creative updates keeps Fortnite packed with flashy, streamable content.

MapleStory: Worlds - MapleStory: Worlds carries above-average discoverability and strong curiosity from streamers. As Nexon’s new creative sandbox, it lets players build and share their own worlds using MapleStory assets. Early player-made modes range from card battlers to action RPGs, giving creators a wide variety to showcase in a single franchise. The nostalgia factor and built-in monetization tools make it fun to spotlight unique maps or creative builds while finding a distinct audience.

EVE Online - EVE Online leads in visibility this week, fueled by both scale and fresh events. GM Week brings developer-run fleet roams and in-game spectacles that draw crowds, while the recent Legion balance patch has shifted underused ships and shaken up strategies. Operation Nemesis ties EVE to the new FPS, EVE Vanguard, giving streamers an unusual crossover to feature. With epic battles, shifting metas, and real-time politics, EVE continues to provide unmatched spectacle for streaming.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Animal Crossing: New Horizons also shows above-average discoverability. Its cozy, community-driven style makes it ideal for relaxed streams, and seasonal events like the Grave Harvest Festival and Moon-Viewing Day add fresh decorating themes. Halloween and Day of the Dead updates are around the corner, giving creators even more holiday content to showcase. Island tours, design contests, and cozy build sessions ensure the game stays a reliable source of charming, audience-friendly streams.
