- —Channel Description
Smosh Games is Smosh's seventh channel. Created July 7, 2011 an officially launching September 25, 2012, it began as a gaming channel hosted by Ian, Anthony, and then-Smosh Pit Weekly host Mari Takahashi joined by former ClevverGames members Matthew Sohinki, Joshua "Jovenshire" Ovenshire, and David "Lasercorn" Moss.
History
Defy Media (2012—2018)
The first video was uploaded September 26, 2012, titled Zombies, Assassins, and DLC. Videos used to be posted on the channel twice a day, nearly every day, which was eventually trimmed down to once a day.
In October 2014, Wesley "Wes" Johnson and Amra "Flitz" Ricketts were added to the official cast. The newest members, Ericka "Boze" Bozeman and Damien Haas were added in early to mid-2017.
On August 5, 2017, Lasercorn and Sohinki both announced they would be "leaving" Smosh Games to become hosts of a new gaming channel, ToasterGhost. They did not leave the crew as a whole, as they still appeared in Smosh Games videos on an occasional basis.
On January 4, 2018, Flitz announced that he was leaving Smosh Games starting immediately due to sexual assault allegations.
On November 7, 2018, it was announced that no more videos will likely be uploaded to the channel due to Smosh’s parent company Defy Media shutting down. However, the video Smosh is Homeless revealed that the unreleased episodes of Smosh & Order, Grand Theft Smosh, and Board AF would be released. These videos were released every Saturday since November 17, 2018 until December 29 2018 and no Board AF episodes were released in this time. On January 12, Boze confirmed on Twitter that she would not be returning to YouTube or Twitch, instead choosing to change careers.
Mythical and Independent eras (2019—present)
On February 22, 2019, the video The rumors are true... WE FOUND A HOME! was released, announcing that Smosh had been bought by Rhett & Link and was now a part of Mythical Entertainment. As a part of this announcement, it was confirmed that Smosh Games would be returning alongside the other main Smosh channels.
On April 3, 2019, the seventh episode of the SmoshCast and the highlight clip released on Smosh Pit confirmed that Smosh Games would return on April 10, 2019. It was confirmed that Lasercorn and Mari were returning to Smosh Games and that both Smosh and Smosh Games would work closely together, sharing cast members across multiple Smosh Channels. The first video was released on April 10, 2019 called OUR NEW STUDIO TOUR, with the first gaming video released on April 12, 2019 called Fatality Showdown! - Mortal Kombat 11. On April 10, 2019, Jovenshire confirmed in the comments of a video on his personal channel that he, Sohinki and Wes would not be returning to Smosh Games as full-time members, with their status being officially confirmed as part-time in the eleventh episode of SmoshCast on May 1, 2019.
Ultimately, Mari and Lasercorn were the only pre-2017 Smosh Games members to appear in most videos released in 2019, with Damien (who joined in 2017) taking on a larger role in the main Smosh Squad and Jovenshire appearing sporadically in videos that year. Wes returned for Smosh Summer Games: Apocalypse and Sohinki never appeared in any videos. Although they also appeared in videos on the other channels, Smosh Games also started bringing in crew members such as Sarah Whittle, Matt Raub, Tommy Bowe, and Spencer Agnew to fill out its cast.
Since 2020 and into the independent era of Smosh, the channel has begun to focus on board games, card games, and roleplaying games far more than video games. From 2020 to 2022, Smosh Games began streaming gaming videos on Twitch, which led to the introduction of new cast members Ify Nwadiwe and Saige Ryan, who were eventually added to videos on the other channels until their departures, although Ify has appeared a few times since then. After Smosh stopped the Twitch streams, the extended Smosh family began to take initiative for appearing in a roughly equal amount of videos on each channel, bringing the concept of a "Smosh Games Crew" to an end.
