According to the source, "from the 16th – 18th of September, a handful of streamers were given access to the title before any players. Early access then ran for one week from September 19th – 25th, before the game’s full release on September 26th. We’ve measured one week from when streamers first got their hands on the game, as this period is the streaming debut of the title (and had the highest viewership)."
