10 of the PC Gamer favorite Twitch streamers
Livestreaming has quickly become a huge part of PC gaming, and Twitch has been at the center of it all. But with hundreds of games being played and thousands of streamers playing them—enough to warrant its own convention, TwitchCon—it can be hard to know what to watch. Finding the most popular streamers is easy, but there’s a lot more out there.
We asked the PC Gamer staff and writers for their personal favorite Twitch streamers for any and all games. These are streamers who are fun to watch, educational, engaging, or all of the above. Even if you’ve never played the game they’re streaming, you can enjoy the show they’re putting on.

YouTube creates gaming platform, Twitch pwns with swift response
YouTube is launching an entirely new website for gamers — except, it’s not exactly grundbreaking.
YouTube announced a platform called Gaming on Friday, a separate website and app for its gaming community. It will be available in the U.S. and UK at some point this summer, with a special preview next week for E3 attendees.
Each game will get its own home where users can find streams, walkthroughs and other videos specific to that title, with content also coming from publishers and popular YouTube gaming personalities. Users can add games to their “collections,” similar to how they would subscribe to a channel and receive notifications whenever channels they follow begin a live stream.
Sound familiar? Twitch, the massive game streaming platform and community that Google was rumored to acquire last year (before ultimately getting purchased by Amazon), thinks so.
