Hello Youtubers! 👋
During Early Access,
Youtubers Life 3 - Stream Together! allowed you to record
5 different types of videos. The main difference between them was the benefits they provided when published — mainly a views bonus. There were also a few dependencies: for example, to record a
“Review” video, you first had to have published at least two “Gameplays” of the same game.
While this system worked, it was somewhat limited, both in immersion and narrative.
As a YouTuber simulator, it didn’t quite capture the feeling of choosing what kind of content to create, and the formula remained almost identical to previous entries.
With the final version, we want to change that. Our goal is for each video type to have narrative meaning, with deeper mechanics and a richer, more varied experience. In addition, not all of them will be game-related:
you’ll now also be able to record other kinds of content, such as reactions, vlogs, podcasts, and unboxings.
Here are the details 👇
🕹️ Game-Related Videos
🎮 First Impressions
This one stays the same: you can only record
one first impression per game.
🕹️ Gameplay
The most basic type, accessible from the start. You can record up to 4 gameplays of the same game.
🧩 Review
To record a review, you must first have made at least
2 gameplays of the same title. Here’s where things get interesting: you’ll now have to
choose the tone of your review — positive or negative. As explained in the devlog about
karma, you’ll need to decide whether to be honest with your followers or stay on the good side of the game developer.

⚡ SpeedRun (new)
The
SpeedRun is a brand new video type that
replaces the old “Commentary”. It has two key features:
- More demanding recording 🏃♂️ No mistakes allowed: if you fail a response during recording, you lose all progress from that session. We want to capture the real tension of a speedrun, where a single mistake can ruin the whole run.
- Games recommended for SpeedRun. Some titles in the store will have a special icon 🏃♀️➡️. If you record a SpeedRun of those games, you’ll get a view bonus.

📦 Non-Gaming Videos
🎥 Streaming
No changes: you can still record a stream and publish it later as a video.
📦 Unboxing
New feature!
Every time you receive a package at home, you’ll now be able to
record an unboxing. Just like with reviews, you’ll be able to decide
how you rate the product — positively or negatively — which will affect the video’s outcome.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45493678/88f116a2790ade3a3040b648b0adb49033026621.png
You’ll be able to record unboxings of
any product you receive at home. 📦✨

🎤 Interviews
At in-game events, you’ll find characters you can
interview. Some will accept right away, while others may require you to meet certain
conditions before agreeing. Each interview offers different
bonuses (virality, views, etc.), so it’ll be worth seeking them out.

😮 Reactions
You can now
record reactions to content published by other players. This content can include:
- 📸 Photos on Instalife
- 📹 Videos on NewTube
When you see a small icon on one of these posts, you’ll be able to record your reaction directly from there.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45493678/250adeb8e3767bc00c598ef2efd729de5ce20e8c.png
During recording, you’ll have to
choose your emotion from 5 possible responses. Each one will modify the properties and performance of the final video when published.

📢 Vlogs
Vlogs let you talk about a trending topic or piece of news. You can record them
at home or on-site, but first you’ll need to
obtain a news item. These can be acquired by attending events, talking to NPCs, entering VIP areas, or joining conferences, among other activities.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45493678/80fc62b63d7ab05c564919f88f48bd7f051d80ee.png
Each piece of news has
a quality level and
a credibility value. You can spend time
verifying its authenticity before recording, which will improve your final video score.

🎧 Podcasts (new multiplayer mode)
Podcasts are one of the biggest additions: a
completely new multiplayer minigame. We want you to experience what it feels like to be part of a real podcast, sharing your opinions on various topics.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45493678/cd5e0b6149b5fcd8cb88a272da32a8f030f3430d.png
Here’s how it works:
- It’s played in turns.
- Each turn features a topic, and each participant must give their opinion.
- If you pick the right topic while no one else is talking, you’ll use up one “topic icon.”
- If you speak at the same time as another player, you’ll earn two icons.
- The winner is the one who runs out of topics first. 🎙️
The result of the minigame will be a video whose
final quality level depends on your performance during the match.
🧩 Conclusion
And that’s it for this week’s devlog 🎬 These changes are huge, and we believe they add plenty of new gameplay possibilities. We want every video type to feel unique, with its own challenges and rewards.
As always, we’ll be listening closely to your comments and feedback to keep improving.
Thanks for joining us for another week! ❤️
See you in the next devlog.
