There are a lot of free computer games and low-cost video games out there, such as League of Legends and Defense of the Ancients 2 (Dota 2). that offer incredible gameplay depth and fun. They also attract a surprisingly large online viewing audience, people who just love to tune in and watch people play and hear their commentary through sites like Twitch.
If you enjoy playing video games, stream them! You can set up streaming pretty easily from an Xbox One, a PS4, or a PC and stream out your games. The ability is built into the consoles; you can get OBS for free to stream from your computer. You can also record commentary as you play if you have a microphone and, in my experience, that's the best way to build an audience is through fun commentary as you're playing.
One great strategy is to just play through niche games that are considered classics and make lots of jokes while playing, just like you were playing with your friends. Remember, you don't need to be competitively skilled, just interesting.
