More than a decade after its original release, Grand Theft Auto V remains one of the most dominant forces in the global livestreaming ecosystem. In 2025, the open-world title once again ranked among the most-watched games across Twitch, Kick and YouTube Live, driven primarily by the continued evolution of GTA Roleplay (RP).
The longevity of GTA V as a streaming phenomenon can be attributed to a combination of factors: Rockstar Games’ long-term support, the flexibility of the game’s sandbox design and, most importantly, the creativity of streamers operating on custom RP servers. These servers transform GTA V into a living, breathing social simulation, where emergent storytelling, improvisation and streamer-driven narratives consistently generate massive viewership.
In 2025, GTA RP viewership remained highly international, with top creators emerging from Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Europe, Latin America and North America. Rather than being dominated by a single region or platform, GTA RP has evolved into a truly global content category.
#10 Toma “JLTomy” Abdellaoui
Toma “JLTomy” Abdellaoui secured the 10th spot in the top 10 GTA streamers of 2025, driven by consistent roleplay output and steady French-language audience. The French streamers strength lies in long-form RP sessions that reward loyal viewers for tuning in again and again.

While by no means an exclusive GTA creator, JLTomy did dedicate significant time to the title this year, racking up over 990 hours of broadcasting time on Twitch.
#9 Ahmed “sxb” Alqahtani
Ahmed “sxb” Alqahtani remained one of the most-watched GTA roleplay creators in the Arabic-speaking world in 2025, further solidifying the Middle East as a major force in GTA livestreaming. Streaming primarily on Kick, sxb regularly drew massive concurrent audiences, maintaining over 71,000 Average Viewers for GTA streams in 2025.
Sxb’s success underscores the rapid growth of Arabic-language GTA RP. Regional servers tailored to cultural preferences, combined with Kick’s aggressive expansion strategy, have created an ecosystem where creators like sxb can compete with — and in many cases outperform — long-established Western streamers in terms of live viewership.
#8 Kevin “Lord_Kebun”
Lord_Kebun, real name Kevin, was previously the #1 Grand Theft Auto streamer of 2024. The American creator hailing from Florida developed a massive loyal following on the famous NoPixel server, where he generated millions of Hours Watched with consistent, long streams.
Lord Kebun is known best for his NoPixel characters Mr. Kebun and Richard Richardson. The different personas allow the American streamer to jump between unpredictable chaos and structured storytelling, always offering up something for viewers to enjoy. While he remains a charismatic and influential streamer, the growing international competition within GTA V was too strong to compete with.
#7 Bác Gấu
Vietnamese streamer Bác Gấu continued to be a major presence in the GTA V category in 2025, benefiting from Vietnam’s exceptionally strong GTA RP viewership base. Closely associated with the same regional ecosystem that propelled MixiGaming to global dominance, Bác Gấu carved out his own niche this year.

In 2025, Bác Gấu remained a consistent performer across long streaming sessions, helping him accumulate significant Hours Watched despite stiff competition from both domestic and international creators. For 2025, his average viewership grew by 41%, and his GTA viewership for the year increased by 125%.
The Vietnamese streamer also benefitted from a significant market gap this year, the top-performing GTA streamer on NimoTV left the platfofrm, allowing Bác Gấu to take the top spot for the secod half of the year. We’ll take a further look at this top-performer who moved platforms later on in this ranking.
#6 Steven “RDjavi” Santos
Steven “RDjavi” Santos, from the Dominican Republic, enjoyed significant growth for his GTA livestreams in 2025. The Spanish-language creator was the top representative for his language demographic in this ranking, coming out ahead of all other Spanish-speaking Latin American creators.
RDjavi plays on the Creativos RP server, one of the world’s most popular Spanish-language GTA RP servers, and he grew throughout the year to become Kick’s top GTA streamer for his language group. The Dominican streamer recorded one of the higher concurrent viewerships on this ranking, securing his spot here with 553 hours of broadcasting time.
Having started his streaming career years ago, RDjavi has been building his reputation within the Spanish-speaking GTA V community as the genre gained traction. Over the years, his viewership has grown as the phenomenon has found its feet internationally, and now, he benefits as the community’s top streamer.
#5 Hani “absi” Al-Qablan
Hani “absi” Al-Qablan emerged as one of the standout GTA streamers of 2025. Known particularly well within the Arabic-speaking ecosystem, he has enjoyed the most powoerfufl growth out of any streamer on this ranking. Absi saw his average viewership rise by over 180% this year, to over 39,500 Average Viewers for GTA streams in 2025, and his total watch time grew by over 415%.
The Jordanian streamer is now one of Kick’s most popular Arabic-language streamers, and as the platform has expanded into this region, he has benefitted from the growing audience pool for the website. While Absi may rank behind other top Arabic streamers on Kick in terms of average concurrent viewership, he managed a high-spot on this ranking thanks to his consistent broadcasting.
Compared to other streamers on this ranking, who exclusively focus on GTA V RP content, Absi was an example of a variety streamer, who focuses on other gaming content alongside his common GTA streams. Throughout 2025, he also streamed hundreds of hours of PUBG Mobile and Just Chatting — in total, his GTA content made up less than half of his total watch time for the year.
#4 Victor “LOUD Coringa” Augusto
Victor “LOUD Coringa” Augusto once again proved why he remains one of Brazil’s most influential GTA roleplay creators, finishing 2025 just outside the top three globally. A member of the esports and entertainment organization LOUD, Coringa benefits from both organizational backing and a deeply entrenched personal fanbase.

In 2025, Coringa made significant boosts to his total viewership through multistreaming. The Brazilian creator was live on three platforms throughout 2025 — Twitch, Kick and YouTube Live. Coringa and other Brazilian streamers this year leveraged multistreaming effectively to jump up these rankings.
#3 Aliffe “PaulinhoLOKObr” Carvalho
Aliffe “PaulinhoLOKObr” Carvalho once again stood at the forefront of Brazilian livestreaming, finishing the year as the third most-watched GTA streamer globally. His continued dominance underscores both his personal star power and the strength of Brazil’s GTA RP ecosystem, which remains one of the most engaged in the world.

Paulinho’s streaming career began in the Brazilian variety and IRL genres, but his pivot to GTA RP proved transformative for the creator, allowing him to convert moments of high peak viewership to consistent watch time across months. He also streamed across numerous platforms in 2025, accumulating a total of over 27,900,000 Hours Watched.
At the core of Paulinho’s success is Brazuca City, the roleplay server he founded and actively shaped. In 2025, the server hosted multiple long-running arcs that revolved around crime syndicates, political struggles, and community-led events, many of which were driven directly by Paulinho’s in-character decisions. This level of narrative influence ensured that his streams felt essential viewing for fans of the server.
#2 Mofareh “drb7h” Al Asiri
Mofareh “drb7h” Al Asiri finished 2025 as the second most-watched GTA streamer in the world, defending the ranking he achieved last year while increasing his viewership by over 6,000,000 Hours Watched. The Arabic-language creator was one of the most popular GTA streamers, recording over 67,800 Average Viewers for the entire year.

Drb7h’s streams on the Respect RP server (the world’s largest Arabic-language GTA RP server, also featuring other high-ranking creators like sxb and absi) were some of his most popular content of the year. While he was mainly known for variety gaming content, he has switched focus to largely rely on GTA broadcasts this year; for 2025, more than 58% of his total broadcasting time was on the Respect RP server.
Although drb7h was unable to move up and claim the top spot on the ranking this year, the Saudi Arabian creators grew significantly throughout 2025. His viewerships increased by over 25% compared to last year, and if he had dedicated more time to the GTA category, he could have closed the gap and claimed the top spot.
#1 Phùng “MixiGaming” Thanh Độ
Phùng “MixiGaming” Thanh Độ claimed the top spot as the most-watched GTA streamer of 2025, reinforcing his status as one of the most dominant creators in livestreaming. The Vietnamese influencer enjoyed industry-leading viewership throughout the year, and was the only GTA streamer to record over 100,000 Average Viewers for 2025 — his actual figure was much closer to 200,000.

While MixiGaming generated millions of Hours Watched this year, he also left NimoTV quite early in the year. The creator had established himself as a de-facto face for the streaming platform, and his viewership on the site was unparalleled. His decision to leave the platform came due to frustrations with the site’s operations.
Following the decision to leave, MixiGaming jumped to YouTube, where his gaming content has become quite popular. While the Vietnamese creator has not matched his massive viewerships on NimoTV just yet, he is already the platform’s most-watched Vietnamese streamer for the year (excluding organization channels).
Having started his streaming career years before GTA RP reached its current scale, MixiGaming built his fanbase through consistency and relatability. In 2025, his broadcasts regularly generated extraordinary cumulative watch time, driven by consistent broadcasts and an exceptionally loyal viewer base.
