Doom: The Dark Ages stormed into Q2 2025 as one of the most anticipated releases of the year and quickly lit up Twitch. While dozens of top creators jumped on the hype, the biggest surprise came from an unexpected source: former adult film star Sasha Grey, who didn’t just stream the game but she dominated the charts.
Sasha Grey started streaming Doom: The Dark Ages on launch day — May 13 — but initially struggled to crack the top streamer rankings due to intense competition. While many creators moved on as the hype died down, she stuck with it, playing on a high difficulty level that made her playthrough longer and more intense. Her persistence paid off: by the end of June, Sasha Grey had become the most-watched Doom: The Dark Ages streamer on Twitch, outperforming even the top creators in the category.
In June, Sasha Grey spent over 40 hours streaming Doom: The Dark Ages, making it the top title across all categories on her channel that month. Her streams averaged more than 1,000 concurrent viewers, peaking at 2,200. She finally completed the game in early July, and fans are now eagerly looking forward to her next marathon sessions with whatever new titles come her way.

Sasha Grey has built a reputation for choosing hardcore, high-skill games, setting herself apart from many other female streamers who often prefer sandbox titles like Minecraft or casual narrative-driven games. She’s logged hundreds of hours in challenging titles such as Elden Ring, Black Myth: Wukong, Demon's Souls, and The First Berserker: Khazan.
Outside of gaming, she streams reaction content, simply chats with her community, and occasionally shares her thoughts on current social issues and politics.
Sasha Grey has built a strong presence across platforms, with over 1.2 million followers on Twitch and more than 500,000 subscribers on YouTube. She typically goes live three to four times a week. Her most-watched stream to date peaked at 17,099 concurrent viewers, a February 2021 cooking stream where she made borscht, which quickly became a fan favorite.
While Sasha Grey found success streaming one of the hottest new games of Q2 2025, she’s still far from claiming the title of Twitch’s most popular female streamer. Every day, top female creators on the platform attract hundreds of thousands of viewers from around the world. Want to know who’s dominating the charts and riding the wave of popularity?
