Sykkuno is the latest Twitch streamer to sign an exclusive deal with YouTube. Sykkuno recounts his gaming journey in his announcement video, beginning in a shed in his parents’ backyard and eventually growing to the massive following he has now.
Rachell “Valkyrae” Hofstetter, another YouTube exclusive streamer and one of Sykkuno’s housemates, asks him if he’s ready to go at one point in the video. Then he says he’s going to do what he’s always done, but in a new place: YouTube.
Sykkuno will join a slew of other YouTube streamers, including Jack “CouRage” Dunlop and Tim “TimTheTatman” Betar, who have all signed exclusive YouTube deals.
During the peak of the Among Us craze in 2020, where he played with Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Sykkuno’s channels exploded in popularity. Since then, he’s focused on Grand Theft Auto role-playing, and he’s been nominated for Best GTA Role-play Streamer and Streamer of the Year at the 2022 The Streamer Awards.
