Tracking how gaming audiences move across Twitch categories before and after GTA VI.

Observed viewers in the Twitch categories GT Effect tracks. Up to six categories share one axis.
Observed viewers · shared axis · partial points are lower boundsEach point is the sum of viewer_count on deduplicated Helix streams for one category. Streams seen twice in a pagination keep the first count.
A collection runs about every 15 minutes. Pages inside one category are sequential, so a complete snapshot is not a simultaneous census.
complete means the Helix cursor was exhausted. partial means the page cap was reached and a cursor remained.
Indexed mode sets each category to 100 at its first positive value on a shared start. Zero is never the base. A rise is not an effect of GTA VI.
One collection slot. Not a Twitch total, and not a market share.
Percentages are withheld. Bars compare observed viewers from this single slot. At least one category is partial. A partial count is a lower bound from unfinished pagination. Page budgets differ, so a percentage would favour categories crawled deeper.

Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto VI stay separate. A future GTA VI category will not be folded into GTA V.

Same weekday and hour for the categories selected above. Only slots that were actually collected.
The same weekday last week is not in the archive yet. Earliest reading: Nov 3, 16:15 UTC. Nothing is estimated. GTA VI release is 00:00 Paris · Nov 18, 2026. After release, the same module compares equal windows before and after that instant. A change is withheld when coverage status or page depth differs. Partial readings are lower bounds.
Twitch figures come from Helix Get Streams. GT Effect walks a fixed list of categories about every 15 minutes. Each page returns up to 100 streams. Streams are deduplicated by stream id, and a duplicate keeps the first viewer count seen.
complete means pagination finished. partial means the page cap was reached and a cursor remained, so observed viewers are a lower bound. A complete collection is still not a census taken at one instant: the pages are read in sequence. Neither status is the whole of Twitch.
Shares are calculated only when every tracked category has a complete reading on the same collection slot. Otherwise the page shows the observed counts and names the gap. Rankings and baseline changes are withheld when coverage or page depth differs. A difference between two readings is an observation. It is not evidence that GTA VI caused it.
Page caps, partial crawls and the indexed comparison are set out on the methodology page.

Grand Theft Auto VI does not have a Twitch category in the tracked catalogue. It will be added as its own series when Twitch publishes an identifier. No GTA VI counter is shown.
