Gaming Creators Prioritize Trust Over Sponsorships in 2025

YRS Truly's upcoming Gaming Content Creator Report 2025 reveals that gaming creators prioritize audience trust over sponsorship income. The report, launching on October 2nd, shows that sponsorships account for just 29.6% of creators' overall earnings.

The report highlights the independent nature of gaming creators, with 92.7% working without agencies or management. This independence allows creators to maintain control over their brand identity, audience, and collaborations. However, it also means they must balance content production with jobs or education, limiting their availability.

Creators value respectful and well-integrated partnerships, with 70.7% prioritizing community reaction to sponsored content. Brands must align their advertising messages with creators' values to succeed. Independence in the industry signals both flexibility and fragility in creator-brand partnerships.

The YRS Truly report underscores the importance of understanding and respecting gaming creators' values and audience trust. With nearly 90% of creators also posting short-form content, brands must rethink their outreach strategies. Over 100 surveyed creators, with a combined reach of over 12 million followers, emphasize the significance of these findings for the gaming industry.
