Today we highlight the top 10 online & MMO games streamed on Twitch.TV in recent months, offering viewers deep insight into the most famous players, or the chance to go one on one with their online gaming idols.#10: H1Z1
Now operating under Day Break Games, formerly Sony Online Entertainment impressed the masses with the release of the zombie themed survival MMO, H1Z1. Despite operating under the Early Access banner H1Z1 has already sold in excess of 1 million copies and dominates the Twitch charts for online games on a daily basis. Its success can be attributed to many factors but most of its popularity can be thanks to the inclusion of Player Unknown's legendary Battle Royale game mode - a mode that sees more Twitch coverage than the game itself.#9: Destiny
Although Destiny doesn't conform to the typical founding elements of the MMO, it's heavy emphasis in online competitive and cooperative play makes it stand closer to the world of the MMO than today's standard console titles. Attracting players with its thrilling boss battles, rewarding PvP elements and seemingly endless grind for better gear and weapons, Destiny was one of last years biggest hits and its popularity continues through Twitch.TV.#8: RuneScape
