German Twitch streamer plays Elden Ring and Street Fighter live from a rave, draws 40k viewers

German Twitch streamer HandofBlood streamed Elden Ring and Street Fighter live from a rave to 40,000 viewers.

German Twitch streamer HandofBlood, known to fans as Hänno, has gone viral after livestreaming himself playing Elden Ring, Street Fighter 6, and other games from inside a packed rave.

The broadcast took place with his full gaming setup positioned in the DJ booth, surrounded by flashing lights, loud techno beats, and a dense crowd of partygoers.

The stream alternated between multiple camera angles, capturing both Hänno at his PC and the atmosphere inside and outside the booth.

Despite the high-energy environment, Hänno engaged with viewers and attempted to focus on challenging titles, including Half Sword, all while reacting to the music and crowd.

According to Twitch metrics, nearly 40,000 people tuned in live to watch the unusual combination of gaming and rave culture.

This is not the first time Hänno has merged the two worlds. The concept originated during a previous gaming session when a friend sent a live DJ to his stream as a prank.

The unexpected moment resonated with viewers, leading to the development of recurring “gaming raves” on his channel. These events now attract thousands both online and in person.

Hänno’s streams have gained attention for their blend of live performance, community interaction, and unconventional settings. By turning a nightclub into a gaming stage, he has carved out a distinctive niche within Twitch’s crowded landscape.

Other creators have experimented with similar ideas, such as 15-year-old streamer Crossmauz, who has gone viral for transforming his bedroom into a mini rave with lights, lasers, pyrotechnics, and a smoke machine.

For Hänno, the gaming rave format appears to be an ongoing feature of his channel, with each event combining the intensity of competitive gameplay with the communal energy of live music.
