Best Twitch streamers of 2025

Agent 00

Agent 00 has been a fan favorite for a little over a year now, he is going to be one of the best streamers this year because he’s getting into veteran status. He’s been in the game for a while, from his old NBA 2K videos to his journey on YouTube. A lot of his popularity comes from his relationship with the Youtube group “AMP” but fans love that he still does solo content, as he is genuinely entertaining.

He seems to be more himself in his solo content, funny, real and refreshingly intellectual. For those not into gaming, his reaction videos and IRL streams are very popular and showcase his individuality.

DDG

DDG has been making popular YouTube videos since 2016. Where he gained a following that has supported him for years. He is also a rapper who just dropped a song with Plaqueboymax “Pink Dreads” that reached No. 23 on Spotify's global release chart. His humor is acquired but even if you don't get his humor he’s entertaining enough to still watch.

After transitioning to Twitch DDG has had random streams that just make sense. For example when Kya Renne or “CookingwitKya” was trending, shortly after she showed up cooking on stream with DDG. DDG has blessed viewers with a lot of content with his first son Halo. Halo is so adorable and has been a meme since he was born. DDG keeps up with the trends, is very active on social media and collaborates with new and old creators.

Brooklyn Frost

Brooklyn puts on for the girls. She is going to continue to be popular on Twitch because it's refreshing to see a relatable black girl, just being herself and enjoying life. She’s pretty funny and seems to be a very sweet and kind person. Lately, there’s been a bit of controversy on social media with opinions on her brother Deshae Frost.

Deshae is another Twitch streamer, who fans have been saying is jealous and weird about her success. As she gained a lot more popularity at the end of 2024 because of their “Frostathon” a streaming marathon they planned to do together.

Kai Cenat

Kai has been grinding, and taking over the internet for some time. It’s no doubt that he is entertaining to many, his best streams have included celebrities everyone loves. Most popular are Druski, Kevin Hart, Nicki Minaji and Kodak Black.

Kai makes it clear that he centers God in his life, and always associates his success with the Grace of God. He’s only 23 and motivates so many people to follow their dreams and be authentic. He is the No. 1 Twitch streamer at the moment and has really changed the game of streaming. Although his solo content isn't as engaging there’s excitement to see what he has in store for the new year.

Plaqueboymax

Although Plaqueboymax has not been necessarily popular for a long time, the hype is understandable. He is handsome, funny and seems to always have something going on. Max also hopped in the studio with DDG on “Pink Dreads” which has been living rent-free in fans' heads.

He also is a streamer who likes to bring guests on, making people tune in to see what they’re up to. Plaqueboymax is very attractive which makes him enjoyable to watch and also very random which keeps viewers engaged.
