10 Best RPGs for Streamers (December 2025)

As a streamer, you probably are already doing RPGs among your gaming genres. They offer storytelling, exciting exploration, and even thrilling, intense combat encounters for viewers to enjoy. But with the staggering number of RPGs out there, it can be tough to pick the best RPGs for streamers. Which games will bring in the most viewership? And not only more viewers, but actually make them stick around? Let’s find out.

10. Fallout: New Vegas

Fallout Season 2 is here on Prime Video. So, definitely a great time to be streaming Fallout: New Vegas.  But not just because of the success of the TV show counterpart, but because it’s a pretty interesting RPG in itself. Choosing which side you’re fighting for, especially, often comes with exciting viewers’ debates. 

Mostly because your choices may not always be morally correct. It’s a vicious, post-apocalyptic world, scavenging your way from Mojave Wasteland to the neon-drenched Vegas Strip. And along the way, you may have to side with questionable factions, trying to survive.

9. Undertale

When choosing the best RPGs for streamers, you want games that will give you choices that make your channel stand out. Undertale is probably among the most popular, offering players the option to avoid killing enemies altogether. The monster interactions are often surprising, some having unexpected humor. 

They are usually unique and engage the audience, alongside the puzzles. You can even solve the puzzles together with your audience, given that the community can be an intensely passionate one.

8. Stardew Valley

Probably an obvious choice, but Stardew Valley is pretty popular among streamers. It simply is one of those huge games that every streamer will be able to craft their own unique experience. And even experiment with creative ideas that lead to new paths. You often want your audience engaged in the game, but also in the chat. And Stardew Valley will definitely have viewers chiming in.

There’s a ton you can do, and with a partner or friend, you can make the stream more interesting. You can collaborate on decorations or dungeon-crawling quests, making sure to have your individual personalities shine through.

7. Mass Effect Legendary Edition

Mass Effect Legendary Edition is, firstly, great because it’s three games in one. So, you can have an easy continuation of a streaming series. Because of it being a remaster, viewers can enjoy better graphics and gameplay. But it’s the story and characters that will likely lead to viewer retention. The story is deep and profound, as are the characters with unique personalities, and they offer some pretty compelling choices that affect the story’s outcome.

6. Pokémon (Nuzlocke Rules)

Pokemon has long been a go-to streaming game, with its large community. But you can add tension and drama with the Nuzlocke Rules challenge. This adds a layer of strategy to your monster catching and taming, from permadeath to catching only one Pokemon type per area. 

You still do have to engage your viewers, sharing the journey of your Pokemon, for example, and allowing your unique personality and humor to permeate through the screen.

5. Final Fantasy XIV Online

Final Fantasy XIV Online has an engaging story, which, even if you’ve played it, you’d still enjoy watching a streamer experience it for the first time. But there’s more on offer, including raids. And those can at times be fun to stream, especially the tough ones that take other players a while to beat. You can offer tips for boss fights or merely an alternative way to craft or grind faster.

4. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

I can’t wait for the final season of The Witcher on Netflix. And I suspect there are many more players out there like me, who wouldn’t mind retreading The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. It’s one of those games with deep and rich lore that is always fascinating to experience and break down. And the open-world environments look stunning, supplementing the story pretty well, as do the always riveting monster battles.

Being Geralt of Rivia is pretty cool, but it’s the strong gameplay systems, from the mission variety to the complex character relationships and good vs. evil choices and consequences, that make Wild Hunt one of the best RPGs ever made.

3. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

How do we not have a new Elder Scrolls game? For now, we’re going to have to still make do with Skyrim, which remains a masterpiece among the best RPGs for streamers. While there may be plenty of channels that have already put out lots of Skyrim content, you can make your channel the resurgence.  

Most especially with the mods that offer lots of ways to take on new challenges, with lots of fun humor. Whether exciting PvP battles or taking on daring solo dungeon crawls, you’ll definitely find lots of content to challenge yourself with.

2. Elden Ring

Soulslike games can feel intimidating. But Elden Ring is relatively accessible compared to some more hardcore options out there, like Nioh and Sekiro. So, by all means, try it out for your stream. It’s yet another masterpiece RPG that you won’t want to miss out on, with impeccable detail in its environments and world design.

Exploration often leads to new secrets and discoveries. They can be optional bosses, dungeons, gear, and more. It helps keep your stream active, where every moment is never dull. You’re progressing further, enhancing your build, making tough choices, and sharpening your skills with every passing moment.

1. Baldur’s Gate 3

Baldur’s Gate 3 can feel like a mixed bag for streaming. But its dialogue choices are some of the deepest you’ll find among the best RPGs for streamers. Character creation and development are everything here. The conversations you can have with other streamers, if you like, are often entertaining. They aren’t just ways to pass the time, but can impact the success of your quest.

There’s so much freedom in tabletop-inspired games to carve your own path. And merging that with your own unique personality and fun commentary can lead to a fantastic stream that stands out from the crowd.
