Karachi’s growing gaming community continues to expand as more creators invest in higher quality content for their audiences. Among them is Umair Siddiqui, a Karachi based gaming YouTuber and Twitch streamer who recently upgraded his streaming setup using equipment sourced from global e commerce platform Temu. His decision reflects the rising interest in professional level gaming content across Pakistan, especially as more viewers explore esports and live streaming.
The global gaming sector has seen a major rise in viewership with first person shooters securing the top position among the most watched genres. FPS titles account for nearly 28 percent of all live streamed gaming content worldwide, generating over 1.2 billion viewing hours in the past year. While Pakistan’s gaming landscape is still building momentum with limited professional infrastructure, creators like Umair are helping elevate local content standards. His channel, followed by more than 30,000 viewers across platforms, mostly features gameplay from titles such as Counter Strike Global Offensive. As he aims to expand his reach, Umair invested in a series of upgrades that enhance not only gameplay precision but also overall visual quality.
Umair sourced a high performance mouse, mechanical keyboard, and noise canceling headset from Temu, selecting equipment based on user reviews and detailed product specifications that were not easily available through local retailers. He noted that Temu provided an accessible way to build a more advanced setup without navigating limited local stock options. Beyond his core gaming gear, Umair strengthened the production quality of his streams through additional purchases including a high definition camera, enhanced lighting equipment, and neon wall decor. These additions have resulted in sharper video output, clearer sound, and a more visually engaging backdrop for live broadcasts.
The competitive environment for streamers in Pakistan continues to grow as more creators enter the digital space with ambitions to build consistent audiences. Viewers are increasingly selective, making production quality a key factor in sustaining engagement. Umair shared that his upgrade has already made a significant difference, with followers commenting on the improved clarity and professional appearance of his streams. The feedback encouraged him to stream more regularly, adding momentum to his presence on both YouTube and Twitch. Alongside higher engagement, the improved setup has also enabled him to generate revenue from his content, reinforcing the value of accessible professional grade equipment for aspiring creators.
Umair believes Pakistan’s streaming potential will continue to grow as long as creators have the right tools and commitment to produce quality content. He credits platforms like Temu for simplifying the process of acquiring reliable and affordable gear, especially for emerging streamers who want to enhance their production standards. He added that passion, consistency, and proper equipment can help any creator share their work with a wider audience, reflecting the evolving opportunities within Pakistan’s gaming and streaming community.
