The YouTube gaming scene has grown exponentially over the past few years. Gamers, once a niche community on the platform, now occupy 22 slots on the 200 Most Watched Channels list. Over 10% of the top performing YouTube channels are games related, including the platform’s most subscribed channel. So who are the must-have players on YouTube? Let us break it down for you:
PewDiePie
Subscribers: 35 million
Mr. Number One himself, PewDiePie, aka Felix Kjellberg, is the Swedish video game superstar who regularly tops the list of most subscribed channels on YouTube. With 35 million subscribers, he’s more popular than Rihanna and One Direction combined. A natural trendsetter, Felix has led the charge on controversial measures like shutting down the notoriously toxic comment sections of YouTube. While he prefers horror games, Felix has also tried his hand at platform games, first-person shooters, and of course the ever-popular Minecraft.
VanossGaming
Subscribers: 11.3 million
Game comedian VanossGaming aka Evan Fong is known for his humorous Let’s Plays, mostly featuring horror games.
