If you count the peanut with the human eyes and mouth, The Game Awards 2025 has two vtuber nominees for its Content Creator of the Year award. Arc Raiders players may know of TheBurntPeanut, but they may not recognize the pink-haired anime girl pictured next to Kai Cenat and MoistCr1tikal.

Her name is Sakura Miko and she's one of the most popular Japanese-speaking vtubers on YouTube with over 2.4 million subscribers, and she's been doing it for seven years. She hasn't streamed Arc Raiders yet, but there are plenty of clips out there of her playing games like Rust and Ark.
