Yogscast Limited,[1] also known as The Yogscast, is a British entertainment company based in Bristol that primarily produces video gaming-related videos on YouTube and Twitch, and also operates the Yogscast multi-channel network for affiliated content creators. Initially a group of online content creators, the Yogscast began activity in 2008 and formally incorporated as a company in 2011.
The group had their roots in videos about the massively multiplayer online game World of Warcraft, but rose to popularity with their playthrough of the sandbox game Minecraft and their self-produced role-playing series Shadow of Israphel set in the same game.[2][3] More recently, the group are known to play the sandbox game Garry's Mod as well as producing a variety of live action videos. In 2017, the group established Yogscast Games, a video game publishing label which has since published games such as Caveblazers, PlateUp!, Brunch Club, and Trolley Problem, Inc.
They are also known for their annual Christmas live streaming charity drive named the Jingle Jam, which has cumulatively raised more than £24.7 million for various charities as of December 2023[update].[4]
