Amouranth has established her dominance on Twitch as its uncrowned queen. Though she has countless stream hours on the platform, we have gotten a few glimpses of the gamer in her. The internet constantly has witnessed many prominent streamers engaging in gaming sessions, and having much content orienting the same.

Valkyrae and Pokimane engaging in full-filled Valorant sessions are prime examples of such. But, Amo has not ventured into the gaming aspect much. In an interview with EssentiallySports, the Twitch Queen talked about what ‘FPS gamer Amo’ would be like.

Amo rose up the Twitch ladder through her hot tub and bikini streams, establishing her dominance on a gamer-oriented platform. Though we have seen her playing games like Hogwarts Legacy, the fans have not really seen the ‘gamer’ side of Amouranth. It seems like she loves playing FPS games, but is not hooked on them, as her main genre of content-making is pretty different from gaming.

“I have played Overwatch. I like Overwatch a lot. That’s probably the only one that I felt that I could be addicted to,” stated Amouranth when asked about her interest in FPS gaming. She likes Overwatch because the game is swift and the matches do not take much time, compared to other FPS games.

Amo further talked about other popular titles to EssentiallySports and the reason why she hesitates to play these. “I tried playing Valorant with friends. And with friends it’s fun, but I don’t want to spend 30 to 40 minutes playing one game that I would probably lose,” stated Amo while laughing about it.

When the question of whether the 29-year-old would have pursued gaming in a different reality, she responded positively. “If I was playing it safe like Pokimane or something, where it is just games only…..I could see that for sure,” was the Twitch queen’s response to her being a gaming streamer like Poki, in an alternative reality.

Amouranth took a diversion from mainstream streaming when she began her career, unlike other popular female celebs on the streaming front. “If I had gone down the mainstream model at first, that could have easily happened, rather than going into the OnlyFans stuff,” she added.

From her conversations, Amouranth being a game streamer, surely seems like a possibility in an alternate reality. She might have become a successful gaming streamer as well.

“Cute girl plays games. Yes, I could see that,” was Amo’s stand regarding her being a video game streamer. But, as the time to transition has quite passed, likely the queen of Twitch will stick with her current genre.

But we can not roll out the possibilities of her coming into the field of gaming. We got to witness some great content from Amouranth during the Hogwarts Legacy release time. And if such interesting titles that intrigue Amo pop up, she may make more content on games as well.
