Resident Evil Village is also getting a big boost on Twitch. On Friday, there were 658,703 viewers across the platform, with a peak of 275,569 viewers in the last 24 hours as of this writing.

According to SteamDB, Village is currently in the top 15 most played games, losing out to such surprising games as Rust, Rainbow Six Siege, and Grand Theft Auto 5.
