Apex viewership up 51% on Twitch
It has a lot to do with warzone streamers flocking to apex to leave their cheater riddled lobbies and discovering that Apex is actually fun. Nick mercs had 63k viewers on Apex when I checked him out ...

xQc was on Apex last night for a little while. For those unfamiliar with him, he's a bit hard to describe. Those who are familiar would guess correctly that it was pretty funny watching him mald at Apex since he doesn't know what he's doing. "Mirage is the most OP character in the game!" Anyway, that was 60K more viewers right there.
There has also been a significant influx of streamers who previously played Overwatch. My favorite streamer, Holiwhirl, was a well-known GM Overwatch streamer for a long time, and switched to playing Apex at pretty much exactly the time that I did, at the beginning of season 7. She's brought a lot of her old friends in and at least one of them has taken to also streaming Apex instead of OW.
For many big name Overwatch streamers, Apex has in the last few months become one of their primary go-to games when not playing OW. Apex has been good for them since OW has not had any new content in forever, and it's good for Apex that their viewers see them playing and enjoying Apex. I even noticed that EA sponsored some how-to vids from KarQ.
