Fortnite is now the most-watched game on Twitch, with a daily average viewership double that of PUBG.

Fortnite Intel reports that based on stats from the past 14 days - with data gathered from SullyGnome - Fortnite streams on Twitch have been watched for an equivalent of 4,882 years, 208 days, beating Twitch's traditional king League of Legends' 4,564 years, 190 days.

It's also the most-streamed game over the same period, with its 246 years, 231 days beating PUBG's 106 years, 194 days.

Over the past three months, Fortnite's daily average viewership has rocketed from 45,719 in December to 152,486 this past weekend. Meanwhile, competitor PUBG has seen a decline, going from a peak of around 109,498 in December to 56,619 this weekend.

It was only a month ago that Fortnite amassed more concurrent players on PC than PUBG, going from 60,000 to 3.4 million concurrents in the space of a few months.

PUBG has had an ongoing problem with cheaters, and has seen its daily active player base drop off on PC, possibly due to this.

Epic is currently bringing down the ban hammer on players who are teaming up in solo matches, saying that "players having fair, fun games is a top priority," and that they will "continue to monitor games for players who break rules and play unfairly in all game modes."

If it manages to nip the problem of cheaters in the bud before it sprouts to PUBG proportions, it may eclipse the game that inspired Fortnite's increasingly successful Battle Royale mode.
