Gaming has become a significant business for game makers and players alike. Some of the highest-earning games on YouTube have turned gaming from a hobby to a profession for a select lucky few.
Everything from League of Legends to Stardrew Valley seems to have an audience on YouTube. But only ten games can be the most profitable for content creators.
The research team for Bonusninja, an online casino review, has crunched the numbers and came away with the top ten highest-earning games on YouTube. The results are based on the average CPM (cost per mile) that advertisers pay for the ads on each upload.
It makes an astounding $4,077 per minute viewed on YouTube. So maybe there’s a reason why Rockstar continues to remaster and re-release GTA V over creating a new Grand Theft Auto.

Respawn Entertainment’s first single-player game is a massive success for publisher Electronic Arts.
In terms of YouTube revenue, Fallen Order generates $630 per minute.
