news culture Twitch: Squeezie, Gotaga, Solary, who is the biggest French streamer of 2022?
After talking about the best games of 2022, it’s time to fly to planet Twitch and find out who is the biggest streamer of the year. Of course, between Squeezie, Gotaga and the Solary formation, there is a choice. So, ready to know the end of the story? The answer in this paper.
Not so long ago, as on the site Gaming Campus (for example), we note that Gotaga is the “most followed” French streamer. The article in question dates from last November 3, but in the meantime things have changed. Yeah, believe it or not, but now it’s fine Squeezie who’s on top in terms of subscribers on Twitch, thus becoming the most popular ‘live’ creator of the moment on the French-speaking scene. According to our figures, on December 17, 2022, Lucas Hauchard (real name) had 4,049,035 fans on the Amazon platform. For its part, and on the same day, Gotaga had a little over three million eight hundred thousand people! The battle was tough.

The crazy success of the GP Explorer
In any case, even if the year 2022 was significant for the whole of French Twitch (ZEvent, Pixel War, Eleven All-Stars), it was also significant for Squeezie alone! On the sidelines of several big projects – Halloween short film on Amazon Prime, his video series “Who is the impostor?” – who took him to first place among French youtubers this time around, we will remember his GP Explorer last October for a very long time. This is a Formula 4 race that brought together 22 personalities from the internet world on a professional circuit. A huge long-term project.
As you can imagine, it was not as simple as installing the participants in vehicles and telling them “there you accelerate, there you brake” (not to mention the budget, estimated at three million euros). , two years of preparation were necessary – with several months of training for the runners. A completely crazy dream, started at the base of a “donation goal” of the ZEvent 2020, but which had very concrete results. a, at the time, Squeezie broke the record for simultaneous viewers on the French-speaking scene, with more than a million viewers live (before being beaten by the Eleven All-Stars a month later). Two, his own Twitch channel is quick to take advantage.According to our figures, Lucas Hauchard won more than 190,000 subscribers over the weekend alone GP Explorer!

A promising future in 2023?
All in all, this is how Squeezie got to Twitch’s stardom in 2022. So can we expect such an explosive next year? Well, not sure – at least for now. “I’ve pulled the strings a lot there since September” confides Lucas Hauchard in one of his direct, spotted by the Intrld media: “We did incredible things on the channel and I’m so happy. But I confess to you guys, I’m at a level of exhaustion… I’ve left feathers there (…) So next year I’m going to reduce it a bit”. Well-deserved rest to perhaps come back stronger?
