It was Kick's highest peak since October 2025 and its second straight month above 700 million hours. The platform also set all-time highs for active channels, 364,300, and for games streamed, more than 7,000 for the first time.

Two events drove the peak. DedSafio 4, the Spanish-language Minecraft event, pulled the platform's biggest audiences of the month, and Brand Risk #16, Adin Ross's influencer boxing series, did the rest. Event programming, not everyday streams, is what moves Kick's ceiling. [Kick viewership October 2026 sets new channel activity record — Streams Charts]

Ross himself finished tenth among Kick streamers with 5.77 million hours watched in October. He's been multistreaming since returning to Twitch late last year, so his Kick-only output is smaller than it was, but his events still anchor the platform's calendar.

The channel records are the quieter number. 364,300 active channels and 7,100 games streamed mean the long tail is widening: more people broadcasting more different games, even if the headline peaks still come from a handful of events. Kick's problem was never a ceiling. It's the floor, and the floor rose. [Kick viewership October 2026 sets new channel activity record — Streams Charts]
