Twitch Adds Filter for PUBG Streams Based on Surviving Players
By Nicholas Barth ·
Twitch viewers now have the ability to filter through Player Unknowns Battlegrounds (PUBG) streams based on how many surviving players there are in the match and other variables.
Battle royale games are some of the most adrenaline pumping and exciting games that viewers can watch their favorite Twitch streamers play on the Amazon owned live streaming platform. However, battle royale titles are not always filled with the heart racing action that the likes of PUBG, Fortnite Battle Royale, H1Z1 and other titles are known to provide. This is especially true during the mid-game periods, as it can difficult to find enemy players after the initial waves of battles and before the ending fights that decide the winner take place.
Looking to help combat viewers having to watch these less than exciting periods in streams broadcasting PUBG, Twitch has announced new filters that will allow viewers to find the perfect action packed Twitch stream for them.
No one likes a chicken dinner when it’s cold.

The three new filters that Twitch has added for viewers in the PUBG directory consist of a language filter, game type filter (solo, duos and squads) and how many surviving players there are left in the match that a specific steamer is currently playing in. Viewers now have the ability to find the streamers who are in the midst of games that have the most potential to showcase the battle royale action fans of the title love to witness. Whether it be your wanting to only see streamers collect chicken dinners or your love of seeing the opening chaos of matches, Twitch allows fans to customize their searching experience for the ideal stream.
If viewers come to enjoy the new filters added to the directory of PUBG on Twitch, it would not be surprising to see the platform look to add similar filters to the directories of other battle royale titles, such as Fortnite and H1Z1.
