How to find YouTubers for your indie game (without wasting hours)

The fastest way to find the right creators is to start with your game's genre and see who is already covering it so you can build a list that's actually worth reaching out to.

Guide breakdown

Start with the genre your game actually fits

Don't go broad. Use the tags that describe how players discover your game and use those to find creators who already cover similar titles.

Look for creators who cover the genre consistently

One video isn't enough. Focus on YouTubers who regularly upload content in your niche so your outreach goes to people who are still interested.

Build a list you can reuse across your launch

A good creator list should work for your demo, launch, and updates. The goal isn't a one-time list, it's something you can keep using.

FAQ

Should I target the biggest gaming channels first?

Not usually. Smaller creators with strong genre fit are more likely to respond and cover your game than large general gaming channels.

What if my game fits multiple genres?

That's normal. Combining tags helps you find creators who match different parts of your game and usually leads to better results.

How many creators will I find?

Most searches return over a hundred relevant YouTubers depending on your genre, with dozens more being added daily.
