It’s St. Patrick's Day today, an occasion marked by festivities and celebrations among the people of Ireland back home and all across the world. And what better way for Streams Charts to join in on the merriment than by collating rankings of the top streamers from this beloved European nation?
These 2024 rankings have a few names that might not be familiar to viewers outside of Ireland. However, the content creators in question have continued to push the boundaries of entertainment and put their country on the global map.
Most Watched Streamers from Ireland in 2024
Atop the pile is Daniel "RTGame" Condren, a common fixture among streamers attending the various TwitchCon conventions. The Irish-Canadian Twitch star is known for his humourous commentary when livestreaming, often causing mischief when playing games in front of his millions of followers.
Next is Stephen "STE_Eire" O'Connor, a big Irish proponent of the famous NoPixel Grand Theft Auto V server who also streams titles like Valorant and EA Sports FC. He is followed by Edwin "MrGibbon" Fitzgibbon, who primarily creates content around DayZ and other survival games, alongside occasional dalliances with the Just Chatting category.
Twitch names continue to dominate the rest of this top ten list, with their content mostly coming from the video gaming genre. Some of the titles these online personalities have played include EA Sports FC 24, World of Warships, GTA V, and Escape from Tarkov.
There are two influencers connected to YouTube, the first of whom is Let's Talk FPL, aka Andy, whose informative videos on the popular fantasy game related to the English Premier League have earned him admirers globally. Last but not least is Just Havoc, another GTA V creator whose content includes challenges and other unorthodox gameplay videos.
Most Watched Female Streamers from Ireland in 2024
Among the most-watched Irish female streamers last year, many channels focused quite a lot on video games, which is not always the case with such leaderboards. Leading the pack was cakejumper, the self-proclaimed internet jester who was the only one to cross the 200 million Hours Watched (HW) mark. The variety streamer loves Lolita fashion and baking, the latter of which fans see quite often during her broadcasts.
Quite a few other names here also played myriad video games like Rainbow Six Siege, Clash of Clans, Old School RuneScape, and Elden Ring. Intriguingly, a couple of names here are also VTubers, with morifae and CaseyExplosion putting out content that aims to create a relaxed atmosphere and build a welcoming community for all their viewers.
With Ireland growing as a destination for tourism, education, and entertainment, its livestreaming industry has been able to open itself up to the world and attract global viewers. Led by the likes of Rebecca "JustaMinx" Roe and RTGame, the nation's creators are gradually getting more recognition for their talent and content. The only way is up for these skilful influencers, so readers would do well to keep an eye out for them over the next few months and years.
