Twitch is one of best online gaming websites, however, YouTube is fast-becoming the nearest alternate where players can gather thousands of followers who want to watch their favorite gamer play their favorite game.

The shift from Twitch to YouTube is especially true for games that are relatively less-liked by popular competitive gamers. This trend is now so apparent that we felt that it needed its own top 10 list.



Our top 10 list is based on watch time, videos, and the number of channels for a particular game.

1. Minecraft

2. GTA

3. League of Legends

4. Call of Duty

5. Dota 2

6. FIFA

7. World of Warcraft

8. The Sims

9. Hearthstone

10. Assassin’s Creed



It’s not a surprise that Minecraft tops our list as the most popular game searched on YouTube. This brick graphic game has just so much to offer to gamers. Minecraft gives gamers the opportunity to create almost anything from the basic stuff provided, resulting in countless designs and plans that Minecraft gamers implement to create almost anything.



One of the main reasons why Minecraft became such a huge hit was its presence on Youtube. Ever since the early days of Minecraft, gamers used to share videos of their masterpieces, which sparked more interest in the game, attracting more gamers to try Minecraft. Eventually, Mincecraft became the most viewed game on Youtube.



The shocking part about our list is the presence of Hearthstone and The Sims on it. To be honest, the popularity of both these games really came as a shock to us since we weren’t expecting them to have so many views on YouTube. During our research we found that Hearthstone also has thousands of constant viewers on twitch as well.



Something worth noticing is that Dota 2 has lost the battle with League of Legends on YouTube as well. Sadly, Dota 2 has lesser views than Call of Duty, and that was a really big surprise for us.



It remains to be seen how the upcoming Overwatch by Blizzard Entertainment, and Heroes of the Storm fare on YouTube. But one thing is for sure, judging by the popularity of the games on our list, the future looks like more than promising for games and gamers.
