These are the current viewership numbers on Twitch for Hype Scape:
as you can see with 2.5K viewers, even OSU is beating it in viewership numbers, and even some Dishonored speedruns (most likely) come out ontop of it. And that is, even tho the game currently has a promotion that if you watch it on Twitch with a connected Ubisoft account, you get 600 of its in-game currency when the full release comes out (the battle pass will be 950 or ~$9.50, so basically you'll get $6 worth simply for watching it or playing it for an hour)
now let's look at the top row of games on Twitch atm.
here we see the next closest competition to it in the BR genre, PUBG... a game that is pretty old already and Darwin Project, a game that is not worth developing further for the devs, so they moved on from it, not updating it anymore or supporting it really... and that has 16.3K viewers!
looking further up in the list and we see Apex Legends, which people meme on the internet is a "dead game" has its most successful season yet and with 27.8K viewers has more than 13x the viewership of Hyper Scape
(note: I literally just had to look at the thread title I already typed in in order to remember the game's name, maybe one of the reasons it seems to be failing atm)
so, is this game dead? can it recover? will the console/full release with crossplay next month be able to save it?
IMO it has many problems, it has VERY stiff controls, way too many abilities that shoot you upwards into the air and let you escape (movement ability + invisibility, or movement ability + invincibility shield is crazy OP) and the mapdesign is extremely boring. BUT with its more old school kinda feel to it it could have potential IMO... it certainly is different enough from other BRs to stand on its own if properly supported and enhanced.
