Five Games Rapidly Gaining Popularity on Loco

Livestreaming platform Loco is home to some of the biggest streamers in South Asia and the content creators on the platform are looking to diversify their content. While titles like GTA 5, Free Fire, and Valorant continue to dominate viewership, there are other titles that are creeping up in popularity. Here are five rising games that are rising through the ranks in Loco and you should keep an eye out for them if you love watching variety content.

Fall Guys

Fall Guys

Fall Guys currently has three million views on Loco and the game’s recent free-to-play update has definitely contributed to the game’s success. Unlike other popular titles like Valorant and Free Fire, Fall Guys was a paid game that put a barrier to entry for players who did not want to invest in the game. But since the game went free-to-play, Fall Guys managed to hit the 50 million player mark in just two weeks.

The game is picking up pace in Loco and a lot of streamers are giving it a try. Some of the appeal of the game comes from Takeshi’s Castle, a popular Japanese game show that a lot of 80s and 90s kids grew up watching in India. It was essentially one of the first battle royales, but in real life. Fall Guys offers a similar experience in a video game format.
