The streaming of games has become one of the most common things done on YouTube. People play various mobile and PC games on this platform. However, not everyone is able to do this. Here are some of the reasons:
- Streaming PCs are quite expensive.
- Streaming a mobile game via PC also requires several additional devices.
- Gaming PCs are not very popular in most homes.
- Most of the popular PC games aren’t available to all because they are paid games.
Hence, the options seem to be limited. But don't worry! Here are some of the low-end PC games which are super fun, and can be easily streamed on YouTube.
1. Minecraft
Minecraft has been one of the most popular games on YouTube. It has gathered an audience in various ways. It has been found that various YouTubers have more than one channel, especially for this game. This game is mostly hinged on the creativity level of an individual. The most common modes played on Minecraft are:
- Creative Mode
