Brianna Arsement

Brianna Arsement is an American YouTuber, singer and former registered nurse. She built a following in the gaming space under the handle BriannaPlayz, with a channel that has drawn millions of subscribers for its Roblox and Minecraft gameplay, pranks and build challenges.

Her audience extends well beyond gaming. She has released music through DistroKid, appeared in a FilmRise-produced series carried by Roku, and has been profiled by Inside Edition, ABC7 and NBC DFW for her work encouraging women in gaming. As of 2026 she remains one of the more recognizable women in the family-friendly creator space, and in October 2026 she and her husband, Preston Arsement, announced they are expecting their first child. [edit]

She was born Brianna Paige Barnhart on January 2, 1994, in Wichita Falls, Texas, and grew up there as an only child. She attended Wichita Falls High School, then went on to studies at Simmons College and Texas Christian University.

Her first career had nothing to do with a camera. She trained and worked as a registered nurse at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, a job she held before content creation became a full-time occupation. Performance, though, was already part of her life: she sang and acted in stage musicals, including a production of Legally Blonde, and recorded covers such as Christina Aguilera's "Hurt."

She met Preston Arsement, already an established gaming YouTuber, and the two married in May 2018. Her own channel grew out of that world, starting with appearances alongside him and expanding into the BriannaPlayz brand. [edit]

Her channel, BriannaPlayz, grew steadily through the late 2010s and by mid-2021 had reached roughly 9.3 million subscribers, a figure Inside Edition cited when it profiled her transition from nurse to professional gamer. The content leans on Roblox and Minecraft: build challenges, pranks and collaborative sessions with friends and with Preston.

Music became a parallel track. She released singles including "With Your Heart" and "Break Out," the latter passing 1.4 million streams on Spotify, and she has spoken in interviews about balancing the gaming and music sides of her work.

In 2022, FilmRise struck a deal with Roku for a digital-native series built around her BriannaPlayz persona, moving her content beyond YouTube. The same year, CNN Underscored featured her breaking down her YouTube production setup. In 2023 she picked up screen credits including Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken and the YouTube special Trapped in 100 Layers of Banned Toys! Her advocacy for women in gaming has been the subject of segments on ABC7 in 2021 and NBC DFW in 2025. [edit]

Her on-camera presence is bright and family-friendly, built around Roblox and Minecraft sessions rather than edgy commentary. She presents as a collaborator first, often sharing screen time with Preston and a rotating cast of creator friends, and her channel art and thumbnails lean into that cheerful, high-energy aesthetic.

Media coverage tends to frame her as a bridge figure: a former nurse who became a gaming creator and who uses the platform to encourage women in the space. Profiles from Inside Edition, ABC7 and NBC DFW have all leaned on that angle, and she has done interviews specifically about female representation in gaming. On social media she keeps a similar register, mixing gameplay clips with personal milestones. [edit]

iFANN has not yet collected fame data for Brianna Arsement, so no ranking is published for her at this time. She is not on the September 2026 iFAMOUS Rankings flagship list.

Her audience is large but informal. There is no documented fandom name, and fans do not organize under a single banner the way some creator communities do. What they share is an interest in the Roblox and Minecraft content she makes with Preston and their circle of creator friends, and the crossover audience between the two channels is substantial. Her pregnancy announcement in October 2026 drew a wave of congratulatory messages across Instagram and TikTok, where she posts under the handle @brianna. Engagement tends to cluster around gameplay series and family milestones rather than coordinated fan campaigns. [edit]

She is an only child and has a cat named Eloise, who turns up in her content from time to time. Before YouTube, she performed in stage musicals, Legally Blonde among them, and she has recorded a cover of Christina Aguilera's "Hurt." Her music is distributed through DistroKid, and the single "Break Out" has cleared 1.4 million Spotify streams.

One of the more retold details about her is simply the career pivot: she left a registered nursing post at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas to play video games on camera full time. Fans still bring it up when discussing creators who made an unusual jump into the space. [edit]

Brianna was born to the Barnhart family in Wichita Falls, Texas, and is an only child. She married Preston Arsement in May 2018, and the two share a home and a cat, Eloise. In October 2026 the couple announced they are expecting their first child, with the baby due in March 2027. The pregnancy announcement described them as "incredibly blessed and grateful." [edit]

Her closest collaborator is her husband, Preston Arsement, known online as PrestonPlayz, one of the larger gaming creators on YouTube. The two appear together frequently in Roblox and Minecraft content, and she has spoken in interviews about what it is like to work alongside him. Her channel also features a circle of creator friends who join build challenges and prank videos. [edit]

Her public romantic history is short and well documented. She met Preston Arsement, already a well-known gaming YouTuber, and the relationship moved toward marriage in 2018. The two wed in May 2018, and they have collaborated on content throughout their marriage, with Brianna speaking in interviews about the dynamics of working alongside her husband.

No prior public relationships, engagements or divorces appear in the record. As of 2026 she remains married to Preston, and in October 2026 the couple announced they are expecting their first child, due in March 2027. [edit]

Brianna Arsement's income comes from a handful of streams rather than one dominant source. YouTube advertising on her BriannaPlayz channel is the foundation, supplemented by brand and endorsement work, merchandise sold under her name, and music releases distributed through DistroKid. The 2022 FilmRise deal that brought a BriannaPlayz series to Roku added a licensing component that most creator channels do not have.

No single published figure for her personal net worth is readily available, and the estimates that circulate online tend to describe household earnings shared with Preston rather than her own holdings. Research by the iFANN Editorial Team puts her fortune at around $3 Million as of 2026, a figure that reflects her channel revenue, merchandise and licensing work rather than any single large payday.

That total is likely to grow. The pregnancy announced in October 2026 points toward family-oriented content and sponsorship categories that tend to pay well, and her music and licensing deals give her income sources beyond ad revenue. For now, the estimate sits in the low single-digit millions, consistent with a creator of her scale who has not branched into the larger business ventures some of her peers have pursued. [edit]
