Gaming influencers are arguably the reason for the game’s widespread popularity – with an insurgence of fans playing Among Us after it became a hit amongst streamers on Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook.
The game has also helped small gamers grow large, dedicated fan bases – with Valkyrae being a key example: the popular YouTuber started her gaming career with an average live-stream viewership of 5000. After starting her Among Us livestreams – Valkyrae has become one of 2020’s most-watched female streamers.
The faceless YouTuber Corpse Husband also went viral streaming Among Us with renowned gaming personalities such as PewDiePie and Jacksepticeye – which helped him gain 7.4 million subscribers on the platform.
