Top 10 Best YouTube Gaming Channels

The best channels on YouTube that focus on gaming content.

The Top Ten

PewDiePie

Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg (born October 24, 1989), known online as PewDiePie, is a Swedish YouTube personality, comedian, and commentator. He gained fame for his Let's Play videos and vlogs and was the most subscribed YouTuber for nearly six years, after which he was surpassed by T-Series. As of March... read more

He is hilarious, and even though many people may think that watching gaming channels on YouTube is extremely nerdy, PewDiePie makes it hilarious and fun to watch for anyone. I am extremely addicted to his videos, and they can always put a smile on my face.
As soon as I discovered him from a friend, I was instantly addicted and subscribed. I have been subscribed to his channel since he had about three million bros, but now he has over eleven million, and I am glad to be a part of the bro army. BROFIST.

Why is PewDiePie No. 1 on the list? He should be No. Infinite. We should all worship the great PewDiePie instead of God. Did you know that he was born under a triple rainbow and could walk at three days old? At two, he could fly a plane and, in college, he wrote (in his six days of college before graduating with a Ph.D.) 198 of the best orchestras known to mankind. His IQ is immeasurably high but is estimated at 286.
Markiplier

Mark Edward Fischbach (born June 28, 1989), known online as Markiplier, is an American YouTube personality. He was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, began his online career in Cincinnati, Ohio, and is now based in Los Angeles, California. Markiplier is known for his playthroughs of horror and indie games and... read more

If there's one person that keeps humor around me all the time, that person would be the one and only Markiplier. For years, I've been watching his videos every day (mostly when I'm in a bad mood) to keep me happy. He is proud, awkward, funny, kind-hearted, and beloved. He is good at making friends and really good at games.
He may seem like a screw-up to most games, but who the hell is stopping him? Haters, who never understand the sense of humor, always come to his videos to put in crappy comments about the guy. But guess what, haters: he's not gonna stop anyway. So, don't comment or watch his videos to make him feel bad (even though it barely affects him).
I really hope Mark is reading these comments and cherishing them. Nobody can be as nice and good as him.
VanossGaming

Evan Fong is a Canadian internet personality and video game commentator with 24 million subscribers. He is best known under his online pseudonym VanossGaming, where he posts montage-style videos on YouTube. His content primarily features gameplay from games like Grand Theft Auto V and Call of Duty.

I got turned on to VG two years ago and have been watching since. He and his friends are hilarious and make it much better than those playing solo and providing commentary. I, too, really like how he doesn't show himself in his videos as I don't care what he looks like while playing or what his facial expressions are. Just a good group of dudes having fun playing together.
He's also humble about his success and doesn't push for his viewers to "like" or "subscribe," like the majority of these "let's play" folks out there. He also does some great video editing work, and it's gotten better and better over time. My only complaint is that he doesn't put out enough videos. It's a decent amount, but I binge on his videos and crave more. Keep up the good work.
I also want to give a shoutout to his friends. They don't get the love they deserve, and this channel wouldn't be as great as it is without them.
Jacksepticeye

Seán William McLoughlin, born February 7, 1990, better known by his online pseudonym Jacksepticeye, is an Irish YouTube personality known primarily for his comedic Let's Play series and vlogs. His most popular series include Happy Wheels and Five Nights at Freddy's. These projects helped increase his... read more

Jacksepticeye is one of the funniest, most amazing, and most appreciative YouTubers I have ever seen. He is so considerate of his fans and is constantly telling them how much he adores them. He is very connected with his fans, and most of his day is spent interacting with them.
He makes two videos a day, and not only does that provide something for viewers to do, but the videos are also consistent and always at a certain time of the day. I enjoy him more than PewDiePie, even because he is, for the most part, respectful and loving toward his fans. Now at 9.9 million subs, I think he'll continue to do great things like the BOSS he is!

Extremely dedicated to his channel and subscribers, Jack updates twice a day and consistently replies to and shares fan content on his social media.
Jack is honestly one of the sweetest, funniest, and most passionate YouTubers out there. He deserves all the love and more than he already receives.
You can tell he genuinely loves his work and his subscribers. It shows in every second of his videos and in every letter he writes on social media. I would recommend anyone watch the sunbeam nicknamed Jacksepticeye for a double dose of happiness in their daily life.
Rooster Teeth

Rooster Teeth Productions, LLC is an American media and entertainment company based in Austin, Texas. The company is owned by Ellation, which is a division of Otter Media. Otter Media is itself a subsidiary of WarnerMedia through its Warner Bros. division.

RoosterTeeth is arguably one of the best gaming channels due to its variety and amount of content, as well as the community. The company has several branches, each of which produces its own shows, including gameplay, podcasts, animation, and even game shows. Nearly anyone can find some show that they enjoy produced by the company.
The community is extremely vast and welcoming. There's even a yearly expo hosted by RoosterTeeth! In addition, the channel is very modest. They ask for help only when necessary and don't go around flashing their success. They help other creators and promote interactions on their website. I can't express my appreciation for the channel enough. If you can, I'd really suggest giving their content a look.
OfficialNerdCubed

NerdCubed has a personality like no other. His humour is both funny and relatable to teens and adults. When he talks about what makes a game poor, the facts he states are 100% correct, and he gives by far the best reviews on them.
He does silly little challenges and mucks about all the time on video games. He's absolutely worth your time to watch. I remember showing my friends a bunch of his videos, and now they are subscribed and watch him daily. I always watch a video of his knowing I'm going to laugh, smile, and giggle, and so far that hasn't been a disappointment. He's by far one of the best gamers on YouTube I have come across. His accent makes him all the more addictive to watch. He deserves to be at the top.
CaptainSparklez

Jordan is my favorite YouTuber out of anyone. People say a person's fan base reflects who they are, and that couldn't be truer for him. He is logical, animated, and innocent. He's the smart kid in the back of the classroom of YouTube, the one that everyone knows about but few truly take the chance to get to know him personally.
If you want an extremely down-to-earth guy that will make you smile, play along, and maybe even sing a little, then this is the kind of channel you want to watch. He doesn't curse very much and he does fantastically on his own and with other YouTubers. He's also extremely likable, and if you don't want to get mad at who you're watching, then again, watch this guy! He is as honest as he possibly can be. He's committed and consistent, and he always updates his fans on information and news. Just give him a look-see, okay?! He's really an epic person.
UberHaxorNova

If you haven't gotten around to doing it yet, check this guy out. He's an all-around great person and commentator on YouTube and deserves more attention. James is a cool, funny, and weird guy, and is surrounded by friends who are just the same.
Probably my favorite out of the Creatures, with Kootra being a close second. Nova and Aleks are a great duo. You should also check out their collabs. He has a great variety of content that never fails to make you laugh.
He never overreacts like most YouTubers do, but just mirrors the reaction that most of us have when we die in a game. He was one of the first-ever YouTubers to get me enticed in YouTube gaming. I'm lucky to have been suggested to him by a good friend.
SeaNanners

He's always laughing about something, and even as just a viewer, you really feel invested in his schemes and pranks. The Nanner-Man has always been there on YouTube, and even though he's a smaller channel, you can see how much effort he puts into his videos. Even if you should never trust Nanners, trust me when I say that he's one of the best guys out there.

SeaNanners is the original. If you don't know who SeaNanners is, well, shame on you. He has over one million subscribers and was one of the first gamers on YouTube. He is still around and still has a ton of fans. Number one in my book.
Game Grumps

I have no clue why this isn't higher. The Game Grumps, along with SeaNanners, are my favorite gaming channels on YouTube. However, I know that people don't have the same opinions, so instead of gushing about the channel, I will go into specifics and give my two cents.
The thing I love about Game Grumps is that it's not necessarily about the game. Sure, we've seen them get emotionally invested in a game to a point where they are screaming at the screen and Arin punches a wall. However, Game Grumps, Steam Train, and all the other shows that have been on their channel have a very Seinfeld-esque aspect to them. This is the gaming channel about nothing.
They will often not talk about the game and ramble on about what they did that day, and any of their hilarious improv commentary and hilarious voices. They let themselves be themselves, which can often lead to some really racy stuff which some other YouTubers may try to avoid. But that's what's so likable about them: they're honest.
If you want to watch someone play a game to see how to play it yourself, or want to see how they react to a game, Game Grumps isn't really for you. If you want to watch two comedians playing games and having a good time, check them out!
ECH!

The Newcomers

?
VideoGamePhenom

This channel covers a wide variety of games. You should definitely check it out.

Dream

Dream is just the best player ever. He knows parkour and everything.

The Contenders

BlueXephos

Simon and Lewis are hilarious and are my favorite two YouTubers. The rest of the YOGSCAST is also fantastic, including Sjin, Duncan, Hannah, Hat Films, and Sips. They don't only focus on Minecraft. They cover a wide variety of games.
Many people don't like Minecraft videos. I'm not exactly a fan of them either, but these creators make them fantastic because they just mess around and mock one another. They are underrated, mainly because they're identified as a Minecraft channel. As I said, many people do not like this, but they deserve a lot more recognition than they currently receive.

The Yogscast family will make you feel like the happiest person in the world. The videos they make will keep you laughing for a good while.
They have a great community and even host charity drives every December. Their humor appeals to all age ranges, not just the younger audience, as some may believe. They are the greatest!
JonTron

Jonathan "Jon" Jafari, best known by his internet pseudonym JonTron, is an American comedian, reviewer, and internet personality. From 2012 to 2013, he was also the co-host of Game Grumps. He left the show within a year, and the reasons for his departure generated significant speculation among fans.... read more

This, so far, is one of the best gaming channels out there. But with his game reviews, top 10s, and his other gaming channel, Game Grumps, he is certainly one of the greats along with the others many people acknowledge. Personality-wise, he is a wild and fun guy to be with, and not just fun with IT'S JONTRON. No, he's just the guy who would be cool to hang out with in real life. Just look at Game Grumps.

I haven't found a better channel than JonTron. His videos seriously NEVER get old and make me die laughing every time. Ah, JonTron, love you. I haven't found another YouTuber even CLOSE to him!
Chuggaaconroy

Emiliano "Emile" Rodolfo Rosales-Birou, also known as Emile Rosales and best known as Chuggaaconroy, is an American internet personality and prominent Let's Player. He is known for his detailed and informative playthroughs of Nintendo games on YouTube. His popular series have featured games such as "EarthBound... read more

Chuggaaconroy isn't like all of the popular Let's Players on YouTube. He doesn't play the most popular games. He doesn't use annoying facecams on his videos, and he doesn't make annoying jokes or yell like the other Let's Players, most of the time.
He was one of the main pioneers of Let's Playing on YouTube and, for a while, was the most popular LPer on YouTube. His Let's Plays mix informative and useful commentary with humor that will make you laugh so much, you can't even breathe. Throw in a couple of epic fails and some epic wins, and you have possibly the best gaming channel on YouTube.

How this guy isn't in the top 10 amazes me. He was one of the first gaming channels on YouTube to get popular and is an inspiration to many other gaming YouTubers. He has created internet memes such as "Steve the Pikmin" and the "NO Coin Left Behind Movement." Some people criticize him for being overrated, when really, he is very underrated, and I mean VERY.
TobyGames

Toby Turner (born March 3, 1985), also known by his stage name Tobuscus, is an American Internet personality, actor, and musician. Originally from Niceville, Florida, he is best known for his YouTube videos. As of October 2024, Turner had a total of over 14.5 million subscribers and more than 3.9 billion... read more

Toby is just hilarious. He turns scary games into something completely funny with his commentary and makes up these songs, and it's just completely hilarious. He's my favorite YouTuber! He has three channels, and I agree, his Lazy Vlogs are funny too.
His sense of humor is awesome, and he does stuff for his audience, like free Netflix and giving out free shirts. One time when people got hurt at this thing, and he did too, he apologized and felt really bad about it. He said he wished he could do more than give them a free shirt. So yeah, great sense of humor and really caring, also doesn't let the hate get to him!

Admittedly, Toby may not be the best gamer, but he is by far one of the most inventive gamers out there. His voices are fantastic, he does little songs, and even though it takes him forever to complete a game, it's ALWAYS a hoot to watch him battle his way through. Plus, he keeps it clean, and that's not something that can be said about most gamers.
He's great, my favorite, second only to Markiplier.
TheSyndicateProject

He is an absolute beast at games and still entertains the people all the while trying to be the best at the game at hand. He doesn't just sit around and make stupid noises while he fails immensely at a game just to get a laugh. Nope, this guy isn't a fake, and he's really cool. He also interacts with his fans through social media and the comments.

He is the most entertaining out of all of them and is a complete beast at Call of Duty and Minecraft. I enjoy all of his videos. He well deserves all his fame and subscribers.
ChaoticMonki

Cry is an amazing person! I really wish I could do what he does and just be naturally good at it like he is. I look up to him so much, and it makes me angry when I see comments on his YouTube from his fangirls saying, Show your face, Cry, and, Why do you never show your face? You need to! Leave the poor guy alone. If he doesn't want to show his face, then let him not show it. Personally, I think he shouldn't, and I don't want to see his face because then it would spoil the mystery behind the god damn sexy, calming voice of his!
I am really surprised he has not made it to second place or even first, or just in the top 10! I hope to see him in the top 10 very soon because he just should be there! When I watch his videos, they just make me laugh and smile because he's a really funny guy! So come on, people, get voting! Bye.
SkyDoesMinecraft

Adam Dahlberg, born January 17, 1993, is better known online as Sky Does Everything or NetNobody, and was formerly known as SkyDoesMinecraft. They are an American YouTuber, video game commentator, and former animator who gained prominence for their early Minecraft content.... read more

This guy is just hilarious. He and his friends make a game like Minecraft extremely hilarious because of the jokes they like to say. However, the most hilarious thing about SkyDoesMinecraft is his laugh. It literally sounds like a cross between a monkey and a parrot.

Sky Army! He does Minecraft mod showcases and gets a ton of views on them. A very fast-growing channel that managed to reach 1.3 million subscribers in less than a year!

He is so awesome, and every time he has a new video, I always make time to watch it because I just love his work!
Machinima

Machinima, Inc. was a U.S.-based multiplatform online entertainment network that was owned by WarnerMedia. The company was founded in January 2000 by Hugh Hancock and was headquartered in Los Angeles, California. It originated as a hub for machinima, which uses and manipulates video game technology to... read more

Super Mario 64 is the best Nintendo 64 game ever and is at least the top two best video games of all time, just behind Pac-Man World. Machinima just made it even better!

I like their videos as a whole. All of them are HD. Depending on the series, they are pretty funny. They are typically short and to the point as well, which I like.

Great! I love his top five creations. Please vote. He deserves it. He is epic!
PeanutButterGamer

This guy is full-fledged proof that you do not need to cuss to be funny. During the spawn of gaming channels, people often followed the formula that cussing is everything. Now there are exceptions, people who naturally cuss a lot like Game Grumps and Markiplier. But this guy's channel is perfectly clean, with the exception of some subtle dirty jokes.
He makes video game reviews, top 10s, and updates more frequently than most game reviews. He isn't over the top but makes smart and witty jokes to entertain the viewers. For example, "I want to get a paint job, *CLANK!* Holy crap, could they make that any louder, I mean seriously, that's the sound effect, I didn't turn up the volume. But wait, what color should I choose? What color, red, blue, yellow, I don't know, uh, PURPLE! (note: Putt Putt was originally purple)"
TheRadBrad

TheRadBrad has shown his subscribers that he really cares. I find his dedication and his gratefulness to the people who like him extraordinary. He is extremely underrated and, according to me, should be on the first rank with PewDiePie at his heels on the second.
Brad mostly plays my favorite genre, which is horror, and I love watching his series in a playlist. They are intensively addictive and hilarious. Also, theRadBrad has a gentle and prickly voice with which he cracks all of the jokes he does. I would like to end this review on a dire note - "What the f***, Charles?" that dude rocks. If you haven't checked him out, don't forget to. I affirm that you'll start loving him. Adieu.
DashieGames

Charlie Guzman (born June 11, 1985), better known online as DashieGames, DashieXP, or simply Dashie, is a Dominican-American YouTuber and Let's Player. He is known for his energetic and comedic gaming videos. Dashie has gained a large following for his content on games like Super Mario Maker and Grand... read more

Dashie should be way higher than the 44th spot. Don't take my comment for proof. Go and watch his channel. He also has two other channels full of hilarious content. He's his own person, not concerned with what others are doing in their gaming videos, and also tries to steer away from what they are doing because he doesn't want to be one of those guys.
But, as I said, just go to his channel, and you'll see that he deserves a higher ranking.

This channel is by far one of the most uplifting channels around. Dashie has a way of connecting with the audience that isn't really there. He has coined terms like BAYYUUMM!, Chiyyuuuhhhss, and Diugghh, among many other things that you will eventually say too. However, Dashie doesn't only say obscenities. No, he also adds in very corny humor that is so bad… you have to laugh with him.
TheGamingLemon

His upload time may be once every month or something like that, but each video is a treat. I enjoy his Sims 4, Grand Theft Auto 5, and anything else that comes out of his channel.

The pure amount of effort this man puts into his videos is ridiculous. He deserves so much more just for the sheer amount of work he does.

He is the most hilarious, awesome gamer on YouTube of all time. I like his Red Dead Redemption and Grand Theft Auto videos.
Speedyw03

KYR Speedy is definitely top three. He has three million subscribers and gets two million views on each video. One of the funniest guys around, he plays with the crew and makes the daily post something to look forward to.

One of my top favorite YouTubers for gaming, and for good reason. He's a very funny guy with a great character that I really like. He and the crew are very funny, and it's very entertaining to watch them have great times together.

Should be number one. This guy is probably the funniest and most entertaining guy on YouTube! He and his crew are ten times better than PewDiePie. Go check him out!
Smosh Games

Why is Smosh Games so low on this list? Shows like Game Bang, Gametime With Smosh, Backseat Gaming, and others are hilarious. It even has Ian and Anthony failing miserably at games along with four other people. Smosh Games needs to be in the top 15 somewhere without a doubt!

You can see the heart and joy that pours into every video. It's obvious they just want to have fun, and I have fun with each and every video I watch. The individual personalities clash to create a sort of chaotic harmony of hilarity.

Smosh Games should be at the top. They have quality editing and sound in their videos, and a majority of them are hilarious. Not to mention, they actually get along pretty well with each other.
XxSlyFoxHoundxX

He is funny, loud, and obnoxious, just like PewDiePie. He has a wide variety of videos. You should check him out!

He is the best and communicates with his audience a lot.

He is fun to watch and plays more than Minecraft.
