IShowSpeed dominates YouTube Gaming in 2025 as most-watched streamer

IShowSpeed has crushed the competition to become the most-watched YouTube Gaming streamer of 2025 so far. With a total number of 64.1 million hours viewed, the gamer left the rest behind, including the second-most-watched, Alexandre "Gaules" Borba Chiqueta, who registered 45.2 million hours of total streaming views. His content included travel streams, gaming marathons, and popular challenges, making him an international sensation. Fans followed his streams from China to Europe, and his broadcasts even received recognition from local governments for promoting tourism and cultural engagement.


The streamer had a packed year, including an epic Super Mario marathon with Kai Cenat and a thrilling footrace against popular influencer Ashton Hall. Apart from content related to gaming, the IShowSpeed content mix has been an amalgamation of his real-life experiences and interactive streaming sessions, which have showcased his reach and popularity across the entire world.

IShowSpeed tops YouTube Gaming rankings in 2025 with massive hours watched

The dominance displayed by IShowSpeed is quite apparent in several areas. According to streams charts, he was ranked first in average concurrent viewers with 52,391 viewers and came close in peak concurrent viewers to set a record with 487.7K viewers during a live stream in Peru. The only peak that went beyond this was set by Mario Alfonso “DjMariiO” Garrido with 703k viewers. His most successful live streams consisted of both gaming and socializing while traveling to destinations around the world.





Following him and Gaules, are three Japanese VTubers: Miko, Pekora, and Kazuha. These Vtubers continue to fight for the top spot in the most-watched female streamer category. Miko had a total of 44.4 million hours watched, followed closely by Pekora at 42.8 million and then Kazuha at 37.1 million hours. The streams usually involve gaming and Minecraft.

The rest of the top eight finalists included MixiGaming, Typical Gamer, and Set1awanade, while the ninth and tenth positions in the list belong to streamers BaianoTV and LoLzZz Gaming. This highlights the level of variance in the content that pulls in viewers.


Looking into the future, IShowSpeed does not plan to slow down. He just announced a massive 28-day tour that covers 20 African nations, which begins on December 29, and this indicates that he will offer even more content to his fans. The success that the YouTuber experienced this year confirms his position in YouTube Gaming’s most-watched streamer for the year 2025.
