The GeoGuessr World Cup 2025, organized by GeoGuessr, set new viewing records during its two-day event in Copenhagen. The peak audience figure and total hours watched during the weekend matter because they show broader reach and stronger engagement for a title that launched a formal competitive circuit in 2023.
Radu ‘Radu C’ Casapu won the event and took the largest share of a $108,480 prize pool. According to Esports Charts, the event hit a peak of 363,415 viewers, roughly 65,000 higher than 2024. That marks almost a 22% increase in peak viewership versus last year. The spike is notable because GeoGuessr is not a conventional shooter or MOBA, and the figure indicates broader interest in alternative competitive formats.
Across the tournament’s 19 hours of broadcast, organisers recorded 1.67m hours watched. That beats last year’s 1.611m hours by a small margin and came from a two-day schedule run at K.B. Hallen Arena in Copenhagen. The World Cup was built on a circuit that included offline events in Japan, the United States, and Sweden this season, as well as online qualifiers to determine participants.
Organizers have released only a teaser and so far have not shared details for the 2026 circuit or host locations. Those particulars remain unclear at present while planning continues. The 2025 numbers give the format momentum heading into next year and supply concrete figures for any future bids and venue decisions.
