Top YouTube Gaming Streamers of 2025

Streams Charts has released its rankings of the most popular YouTube Gaming streamers for 2025, based on data up to December 21. Brazilian streamer Gustavo “BaianoTV” Gomes secured 9th place in the top 10 by watch time, largely due to his extensive streaming schedule exceeding 2,711 hours—more than double that of leader IShowSpeed. BaianoTV is renowned as an active League of Legends community caster, regularly covering major matches across top leagues and ranking among the most popular Portuguese-language LoL streamers. The rankings emphasize gaming-focused creators, with IShowSpeed topping watch hours at 64.1 million, boosted by collaborations, sports events, and non-gaming content like travel videos. Other notables include Typical Gamer with massive growth in Roblox streams and VTubers like Pekora Ch. and Miko Ch. leading average viewers. Schevenko “RRQ Skylar” Tendean placed fourth by average viewers after transitioning from pro Mobile Legends play to streaming ranked matches and tournaments. Vietnamese streamer Hoàng Luân hit a record 420.2K viewers on a World Championship stream, while Gaules peaked at 378K during a football event. Shion Ch., a former hololive VTuber, drew 355K for her farewell concert. Caylus 'CaylusBlox' Cunningham rounded out the top with Roblox update showcases.
