Anticipation is building for the release of Destiny 2: Shadowkeep, the second annual expansion for the game that is set to bring big changes to the in-game universe. Players can expect to see various additions, including the reworking of well-known modes like Nightfall Strikes, ramped up difficulty, and increased loot to match the effort needed to dominate new content.
Casual and diehard players alike will have a broad range of content to explore, and there are a number of streamers that should be followed right from day one to see everything that the game has to offer. Below is our list of the best streamers, with a little something for everyone.
Slayerage
We begin with a streamer that everyone should follow, but who does not stream often. This may seem counterintuitive, but Slayerage is among the most skilled players if Destiny 2 in the world and watching the few streams or VODs posted is a fantastic way to watch high-caliber play and pick up a few tricks for yourself. With the launch of Shadowkeep, we may be seeing more content released, since he will certainly be busy playing.
BURNBXX
The well-known Destiny 2 streamer BURNBXX is a blast to watch her play. With 110,000 current followers and daily weekday streams, she is a great creator of content and will surely be getting right into the new content of Shadowkeep from day one. When she is not playing Destiny 2, BURNBXX plays a broad range of other titles, mostly Apex Legends and recently Borderlands 3.
Gladd
Some may remember Gladd under his previous handle Gladiator, which he shortened for the naming of his Twitch channel. Since 2015, Gladd has been heavily involved in streaming, and is content creator who does not seem to stop. His streams, while not based on a set schedule at the moment, can range from 7-18 hours per session. When Shadowkeep launches, you can be sure that Gladd will be on the front lines of showing off the newest content to his 187,000 followers.
Datto
With an impressive 446,000 followers, Datto streams both Destiny and Destiny 2, along with the odd playthrough of Doki Doki Literature Club. In both Destiny games he seems to focus on downing the most difficult raid content, so players should expect to see nothing but precision gameplay and the best new gear from Datto.
IFrostBolt
IFrostBolt is a great streamer that is about to reach 100,000 followers soon, we hope, and streams Destiny 2 constantly. Unlike other streamers who have taken a break before the launch of Shadowkeep, IFrostBolt is at is often with quality streams that typically last eight hours or more. There is a lot that can be learned from watching his content, especially if one wants to improve on their PvP.
GernaderJake
Similar to IFrostBold, GernaderJake produces a large quantity of content even now when there isn't as much to do in the game. He is currently the number three most watched Destiny 2 channel on Twitch, and has over 100,000 viewer hours this month alone.
GernaderJake is one of the streamers that players should check out now prior to the release of the expansion. Many of his VODs are labelled as “Shadowkeep Prep”, and we can see him getting as prepared as he can be to hit the ground running on October 1 when the expansion goes live.
Players can also look for other streamers who may not be popping up right now or who have been away for some time. Destiny 2 is at a low point in viewership and playtime right now simply because players know that in a week, the floodgates of new content will open and everyone will rush back to see what’s new.
With that in mind, do not discount streamers who may not have posted any new content in the past week or so. For many streamers, the week before a new expansion releases are probably the best time to catch up on other things in life and prepare for the massive wave of new content.
