Saudi Arabia is now the loudest single voice in MENA livestreaming, and Kick is where most of that voice lives. Drb7h, the Saudi GTA V roleplay anchor, sits inside the global top 10 across all three rankings simultaneously: hours watched (8.6 million Q1 2026 per Streams Charts), followers (1,403,171 per Dexerto's April 1, 2026 update), and Q1 peak CCV (142,800). One creator, three charts. SXB (SHoNgxBoNg) is the fourth-most-followed Arabic Kick channel per Win.gg's late-2025 tracker.

The wider context: PIF's gaming push (Nintendo 5%, Embracer 8% for ~$1B, Activision and EA stakes from 2021, $1.5B Savvy Games Group acquisition of ESL plus FACEIT in 2023) folded the world's largest esports operator into the same Saudi balance sheet that bankrolls the Esports World Cup. This guide ranks the top Saudi Kick streamers, explains the Khaleeji-Arabic dialect that anchors the audience, and walks through what the EWC era changed for Saudi creators.
