@XP-Mastery Competitors: 5 Similar Gaming YouTube Channels Analyzed

The niche overlap here is messier than it looks. @XP-Mastery describes itself as memes, Elden Ring mods, tutorials, and Soulsborne funny moments — that's four buckets under one channel, which is unusual at the 13K mark where most creators have already picked a lane. The competitor set scraped against them reflects that mess: two are pure gaming-shorts channels, one is a League of Legends tryhard, one is a YouTube growth account that probably shouldn't even be in this set, and one is a low-upload channel that's mostly a sub-count flex. So the real competitive picture isn't a clean five-way race — it's XP-Mastery sitting at the center of three different sub-niches without fully owning any of them.

@GMODFUNNYSHORTS (20,900 subs, 741 videos, US) is probably the closest direct comp. They're slightly ahead on subs, slightly ahead on upload count, and they've locked into exactly the lane XP-Mastery dabbles in — short-form gaming comedy aimed at all-ages viewers. Their description explicitly markets the "safe for viewers of all ages" angle, which is a smart shorts-monetization play in 2026 now that brand-safety ratings drive RPMs harder than they used to. If you're XP-Mastery, this is the channel to study for thumbnail style and upload pacing — they've out-executed the same idea at higher volume. Follow GMOD if you want pure funny-moments content without the Souls knowledge requirement.

@Autolykus (21,800 subs, 783 videos, US) is the most interesting one in the set even though the overlap is weakest. League of Legends Challenger player, lists their champion pool right in the bio, treats the channel as a tryhard portfolio. The only reason it sits in XP-Mastery's competitor set is the shared gaming-tutorial angle — "helpful tutorials" is one of XP-Mastery's four pillars. Autolykus has 200 more videos and 8K more subs, but more importantly they've shown what authority looks like at this tier: the bio leads with rank and achievements, not with what the viewer will get. Worth following if you specifically want League content, not really if you want Souls.

@Sideye-24 (19,500 subs, 31 videos, country unknown) is the odd one. Thirty-one videos and 19.5K subs is a wildly different ratio from XP-Mastery's 589 videos for 13K — roughly 630 subs per video versus 22. Either Sideye-24 had one or two videos go genuinely viral, or the channel is heavy on shorts that aged out of the algorithm. The bio is just a sub-count thank-you, which usually signals a channel that grew faster than the creator's content plan could keep up with. Honestly probably not the right comp for XP-Mastery long-term, but useful to study if you want to understand what a single break-out moment can do to a small channel.

@peykargar4900 (10,200 subs, 1,900 videos, UK) is the only competitor below XP-Mastery's sub count, and the ratio is brutal — 1,900 uploads for 10K subs means roughly 5 subs per video. That's almost always a sign of a shorts-flooding strategy that isn't converting. The empty-ish bio (just a business email) reinforces it. They're in the set because of country and gaming overlap, but the strategic lesson is more cautionary than competitive: this is what XP-Mastery's channel could look like in two years if they keep uploading across four content pillars without picking one.

@VideXpertYT (17,200 subs, 44 videos, India) probably shouldn't be in this competitor set at all — they're a YouTube-growth tutorial channel, not a gaming channel. But their inclusion is a useful tell about how the matching works: shared audience overlap with small creators, not shared content. Worth noting because creators in XP-Mastery's tier often consume growth advice from accounts like this one, but treating them as a real competitor would be a mistake.

If you watch @XP-Mastery, the closest substitute content lives at @GMODFUNNYSHORTS for the funny-moments side and any dedicated Elden Ring mod channel for the Souls side — none of which are actually in this set. That gap is itself the most useful finding: XP-Mastery's Souls/mods niche doesn't have a strong direct competitor in their scraped peer group, which suggests the mod content might be their actual differentiator if they leaned into it.
