Top Games For Streaming In 2021

Today almost everyone knows what game streaming is. One in five watches streams on Twitch or YouTube channels. Thanks to their charisma, popular game streamers are gaining the attention of young people with incredible speed, becoming almost heroes of our time.
 

 

Streaming is a completely new format for presenting information, where even a schoolkid can become a star. At the same time, viewers don't need to install additional streaming software to watch the live show on their gadgets.
 

Why Is Game Streaming So Popular Today?

Popular streamers are tough competitors to TV and movie stars. Most of them have clear diction, memorable voice, and a manner of speech. They are skilled players and fluent in-game terminology and gamer jargon. Some streamers attract audiences with excessive emotionality, and others make them laugh nervously due to their strong calmness. The key to success is oratory skills, intelligence, subtle but understandable humor, and great charisma. All these are complemented by some attributes — bright colorful make-up, shocking clothes, and cosplay costumes. The competition in this industry is quite high.
 

What Do I Need To Stream Games?

It doesn't matter if you want to stream games on Twitch, a YouTube channel, or other top streaming platforms. Any streamer must have certain streaming equipment. The basic tools are a comfortable gaming chair and a high-quality gadget: a smartphone, tablet, computer, or laptop, which will be used for game streaming.
 

 

There are also several technical conditions for creating a good stream. One of them is a high-speed Internet connection. It doesn't hurt to get a webcam, microphone, headphones, proven streaming software, and screen recording software and screen recording software to maintain a dialogue with the audience. So you can transmit clear and high-quality images and sound.

We won't describe what qualities game streamers should have and the whole list of what kind of streaming equipment they need. We are going to tell you about the top games for streaming in 2021. Let's go!

Top Games For Streaming In 2021

The tops of games are very similar on various sites. We have prepared a mix according to the ratings of different top streaming platforms.
 

Ghost of Tsushima

Ghost of Tsushima is an open-world action-adventure computer game developed by Sucker Punch Productions for the PlayStation 4. It's a nominee for The Game Awards 2021 as well.
 

 

The game takes place in 1274, during the first Mongol invasion of Japan when the island of Tsushima was occupied and destroyed by the Mongol Empire. The last Japanese samurai named Jin single-handedly gives battle to the superior forces of the Mongols, relying on old samurai traditions and unusual methods of fighting. Players must not explore the island only, but fight the Mongols, liberate castles, destroy military camps, and help civilians.
 

Dota 2

Despite the game's release many years ago, it remains one of the top games for streaming even in 2021. Streamings of high-level gamers are extremely popular.
 

 

Dota 2 positions itself as a hardcore game in which team actions and personal skills are elevated to the absolute. So it's incredibly difficult for beginners here, but numerous professionals gather tens of thousands of viewers on their streams.

The community of this game is blamed for harsh and indecent behavior, which is another reason why the discipline attracts the audience.
 

Fortnite

Epic Games' Battle Royale has already accumulated over 40 million subscribers on various designed Twitch channels.
 

 

This game attracts attention both as a very promising e-sports discipline and as entertainment for co-op and solo gameplay. Players will have to explore the world, fight off the attacks of the living dead, and defend their territory. In addition to the world exploration mode, the game also has a Battle Royale mode, in which gamers can also build their forts and fight not with the living dead but with other players.
 

Grand Theft Auto V

The fifth part of the famous project from Rockstar has 20 million subscribers and still attracts more than 200,000 viewers every day on various streaming platforms.
 

 

The popularity of Grand Theft Auto is due to the large amount of content and features in GTA Online. For this, many gamers are still buying the project. The game is so famous and in demand that it seems that absolutely everyone knows about it — even those who don't play video games at all.
 

FIFA 21

FIFA 21 is the 28th football simulation computer game in the FIFA series, developed by EA Vancouver and EA Romania and released by Electronic Arts.
 

 

Football simulator FIFA is one of the most popular and, at the same time, criticized games on the planet. Every year, Electronic Arts releases it with cosmetic changes — players are given updated lineups, and the gameplay of the new version doesn't differ much from the previous one, for which it sometimes receives low ratings from both players and journalists. Nevertheless, the simulator is incredibly popular among fans of football. And the game streams attract audiences from all over the world.
 

Resident Evil Village

Resident Evil 8 is a sequel to a horror series about the zombie apocalypse with various innovations, amazing sound, colorful pictures, and impressive optimization.
 

 

The game takes place a few years after Resident Evil 7. Ethan Winters returned to regular life with his wife Mia, trying to forget the terrible events that happened to them earlier. One of the antagonists of the eighth part is Lady Dimitrescu — a vampire living in The Castle and kidnaping people from the surrounding villages. This character has generated tremendous interest among gamers from all over the world. The game has taken all tops on various streaming platforms.
 

World of Warcraft

World of Warcraft is a Massively Multiplayer Online RPG game developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment. The game is on the list of top games for streaming in 2021.

The world servers of WoW are overloaded even now, and about 15 million people are registered on them.
 

 

The graphics are outdated. The plot is outdated. But the indescribable atmosphere of the MMORPG canons, the balance of the gameplay, and the proprietary combat system that turns the RPG into a dynamic action are not subject to time. Plus, Blizzard knows how to keep the audience's attention — the universe is constantly growing.
 

To Sum Up

There are many more options for game streaming. We have collected some of the top games for streaming in 2021 that will definitely attract audience attention.

A few years ago, people got the word “stream” simply as a live video on a YouTube channel. Game streams were a common thing as well, to which participants could connect in real-time. All these remain today, but now the game streaming market has reached a completely different level.

The pandemic has raised the demand for streams at times. Since most of the inhabitants of developed countries must keep self-isolation at home, streaming has replaced live communication for many. In 2020, due to the pandemic, not only workflow, but also entertainment moved online, and the services of streaming sites were in demand more than ever. If you feel that you are ready to start streaming games, then you should try to find your niche in this business. Good luck!
