Nine days before launch, some players dream of making a living from GTA 6 on Twitch. 20 Minutes, a French daily, spoke to Adam, a private driver who thinks he can earn more on the platform than with Uber: "All my friends created an account," he says, admitting that "it increases the competition."
20 Minutes believes it will "without a doubt." It notes that GTA 5 averages around 85,000 concurrent viewers, ahead of Counter-Strike (55,000 to 80,000) and Call of Duty (a little over 30,000). No figure exists for GTA 6, which is not out yet: this is a projection, not a fact. Twitch already featured in the game's news, as in our article on Clancy and multiplayer.
According to Streamer Facts estimates cited by 20 Minutes, a small streamer with 5 to 20 regular viewers earns €50 to €400 a month, €500 to €1,500 with 50 to 100 viewers. The tipping point is around 1,000 regular viewers, with €5,000 to €10,000 a month, and more than €30,000 beyond 10,000 viewers.
Rarely. Per 20 Minutes, a video by YouTuber HeySamy analyzing 400,000 channels counts 329 active streamers, under 1%, earning at least the French minimum wage. Income also depends on watch time, chat activity and viewer loyalty. The paper concludes the field is precarious and advises against going all in without a safety net.

Nothing changes for the game itself, but the story shows the mood in France: the November 19 launch is also a social event, from days off to streamer ambitions, like the Greensboro police case. For dates, see the release page.
