Shlorox cropped processed by imagy — 15. Shlorox – 123,516

If you’ve ever wondered how a relatively low-drama channel ends up with a six-figure sub peak, German streamer Shlorox is a perfect case study. He’s best known for a mix of *Grand Theft Auto V* moments, hangout-style chatting, and whatever game currently has his community locked in, and the audience clearly likes the cozy “I’m just here for the vibes” energy. Part of his appeal is the mystique: he keeps personal details tight, rarely doing the oversharing that drives a lot of streamer headlines. | © Twitch / Shlorox

Rani Netz cropped processed by imagy — 14. StableRonaldo (Rani Netz) – 134,423

The handle says StableRonaldo, but the real name is Rani Netz, and his streams tend to feel like someone turned the volume knob past “max” on purpose. He broke out hard through *Fortnite*, then leaned into a loud, hyper-social style – banter, reactions, IRL bits, and whatever chaotic thread the chat is pulling that day. Being in FaZe Clan kept him in the spotlight even when he wasn’t grinding ranked, and that visibility comes with baggage: he’s had public blowups and online spats, and he’s also dealt with notable Twitch suspensions that kicked off the usual speculation cycle. Love him or hate him, the sub peak makes sense – his audience shows up like it’s a sport, especially when he’s on a streak. | © Twitch / StableRonaldo

Critical role twitch cropped processed by imagy — 13. CriticalRole (Matthew Mercer & cast) – 139,559

CriticalRole began as a group of working voice actors streaming *Dungeons & Dragons* and accidentally built one of the most loyal fandoms on the internet. The most recognizable face is often Matthew Mercer, but the point is the table chemistry – long-form storytelling, character voices that feel unfairly good, and inside jokes that turn into community rituals. Their success spilled far beyond Twitch into books, merch, live shows, and a major animated series deal with Amazon, which also sparked predictable discourse about corporate partnerships. Add in the lingering early-era drama around a cast departure that fans still argue about years later, and you’ve got the full Critical Role package: wholesome, huge, and occasionally messy in the way any mega-fandom gets. | © Twitch / CriticalRole

Alexander Prynkiewicz twitch cropped processed by imagy — 12. FaZeAdapt (Alexander Prynkiewicz) – 140,108

Some creators “go live”; FaZeAdapt (real name Alexander Prynkiewicz) treats streaming like a long-running hangout where gaming is only part of the point. He came up in the classic YouTube/FaZe era – *Call of Duty* roots, then a pivot into broader variety – and on Twitch he’s at his best when he’s bouncing between *Fortnite* sessions, reacting to internet noise, and letting chat steer the room. The big headline moments around him usually come from how public his circle is: collaborations, off-stream drama, and the kind of viral incidents that turn a creator’s name into a trending topic overnight. He didn’t become “most subscribed” because he reinvented streaming; he did it because he understands comfort-viewing, and people love dropping subs when the vibe feels like a reunion. | © Twitch / FaZeAdapt

Pestily twitch cropped processed by imagy — 11. Pestily (Paul Licari) – 141,395

Ask any *Escape from Tarkov* player to name a guide they’ve watched at 2 a.m. before a raid, and there’s a good chance they’ll mention Pestily – real name Paul Licari – because he’s built a reputation on clarity, grind, and knowing the game inside out. His content is a mix of high-level *Tarkov* gameplay, practical advice, and marathon streams during major events, with a tone that’s more “helpful teammate” than shock-jock. What really sets him apart, though, is the charity side: he’s run massive fundraising drives for Starlight Children’s Foundation that turned his community into a donation engine. Controversy-wise, he’s mostly caught the same crossfire any big *Tarkov* creator does – arguments about balance, cheaters, and developer decisions – without becoming a constant scandal headline. | © Twitch / Pestily

Casimito twitch cropped processed by imagy — 10. Casimito (Casimiro Miguel Vieira da Silva Ferreira) – 159,487

In Brazil, “react” culture didn’t just find a home on Twitch – it got a full-on carnival host, and that’s where Casimito fits. Casimiro Miguel Vieira da Silva Ferreira came up through sports media, and he still carries that presenter rhythm: quick jokes, big football opinions, and the kind of chat-reading that turns a random clip into an event. His streams swing between match-day energy, watchalongs, and variety chatter, with the “meteu essa?” catchphrase basically acting like a laugh track button the community spams in unison. The one real rough patch was the classic streamer trap: copyright – he’s been hit with a short ban in the past after showing sports highlights on stream, a reminder that even the biggest channels can’t freestyle with broadcast footage. | © Twitch / Casimito

Ibai twitch cropped processed by imagy — 9. Ibai (Ibai Llanos Garatea) – 164,107

It’s hard to overstate how much Ibai helped turn Spanish-language streaming into something that feels closer to prime-time TV than “a guy with a webcam.” Ibai Llanos Garatea started as a *League of Legends* caster, then built an empire of oversized events – creator boxing nights, stadium-scale productions, and interviews that pull in athletes and musicians like it’s no big deal. He’s also been a major player on the business side, co-founding KOI and helping push projects like the Kings League into mainstream conversation. With that visibility comes inevitable heat: he’s been dragged into Spain’s recurring “Andorra and taxes” culture wars even when he’s arguing the opposite, and his partnerships with high-profile figures have sparked plenty of side-eye whenever deals shift or collaborations end. Still, the reason his sub peak is so massive is simple – when Ibai goes live for an event, it feels like everybody’s invited. | © Twitch / Ibai

Jynxi — 8. Jynxzi (Nicholas Stewart) – 179,543

Some streams are calm background noise; Jynxzi is the opposite – fast-talking, zero-filter, and built for the kind of chaotic clips that spread like wildfire on TikTok. Nicholas Stewart turned *Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege* into his signature stage, mixing sweaty ranked gameplay with loud reactions, bits with chat, and a style that makes every clutch moment feel like a mini meltdown – sometimes in a good way, sometimes in the “bro, breathe” way. He’s picked up major recognition in the streaming awards circuit, and Ubisoft even leaned into the hype with in-game cosmetics tied to him, which tells you how big his brand got. Controversy-wise, he’s had the modern streamer bundle: public oversharing that fuels gossip, and even a headline-grabbing security scare when his account was hacked and briefly ended up in ban territory before being restored. The sub record didn’t come from being polished; it came from being relentlessly watchable. | © Jynxzi

Ninja twitch cropped processed by imagy — 7. Ninja (Tyler Blevins) – 269,154

Before “subathon” became a weekly word on Twitch, there was a moment where one guy basically defined what mainstream streaming looked like – blue hair, *Fortnite* squads, and brand deals everywhere. Tyler Blevins made Ninja the face of Twitch’s late-2010s boom, and that 269k peak subscription number still reads like an artifact from a different era of the platform. His content was a tight loop of high-skill gameplay and high-volume personality, with the kind of crossover fame that got him onto talk shows and into celebrity lobbies. The flip side of being that famous is that every opinion becomes a headline: he caught heavy criticism for saying he avoided streaming one-on-one with women to prevent rumors, a comment that sparked a wider debate about how big creators shape the culture around them. Then came the shock business move – leaving Twitch for an exclusive deal elsewhere – which only added to the “is this genius or betrayal?” discourse that follows him to this day. | © Twitch / Ninja

Ludwig twitch cropped processed by imagy — 6. Ludwig (Ludwig Anders Ahgren) – 283,066

Thirty-one days of one continuous stream shouldn’t work on paper, yet Ludwig turned it into one of the defining Twitch spectacles ever – and the number that knocked the old record off the wall. Ludwig Anders Ahgren built his audience on variety, but the glue is the pacing: one minute he’s nerding out over *Super Smash Bros. Melee*, the next he’s running game-show bits, stunt formats, or community challenges that feel engineered to produce “you had to be there” clips. After the subathon peak, he made another massive career swing by moving his live streams to YouTube for a while, then later returning to Twitch – basically treating platforms like seasons of a show. His controversies skew more “internet business and copyright roulette” than personal scandal: DMCA strikes and platform rules have bitten him, and some live events he’s hosted drew backlash when a guest’s on-stream behavior crossed lines and the clip cycle did the rest. Even with the noise, the brand stays the same: competitive, comedic, and weirdly meticulous about turning a stream into a production. | © Twitch / Ludwig

Ironmouse twitch — 5. ironmouse – 326,252

Some Twitch records feel like pure numbers, but Ironmouse’s peak sub count is tied to something way more personal: she built a career while living with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), an immune disorder that has kept her largely isolated for long stretches. Rather than turning the stream into a pity party, she made it a party-party – music, chaotic collabs, variety games like *Minecraft* and *Elden Ring*, and the kind of quick-witted “I can’t believe she just said that” banter VTuber fans eat up. She was a founding face of VShojo for years, and her marathon subathon events became a yearly moment where the entire platform seems to drop in, including big charity pushes that spotlight immune-deficiency awareness. The closest she gets to “controversy” is usually platform stuff: copyright headaches and sudden channel suspensions that hit VTubers hard, plus the occasional fandom flare-up that comes with being one of the biggest names in the space. | © Twitch / ironmouse

Jasontheween twitch — 4. jasontheween (Jason Nguyen) – 327,278

A subathon can feel like a reality show that never cuts to commercial, and Jason Nguyen turned that format into his lane with jasontheween – fast-moving “Just Chatting” energy, bits that spiral on purpose, and a community that treats every live moment like it’s clip-worthy. He’s closely associated with FaZe Clan’s creator orbit, and his rise happened in that very 2024 way: one long marathon stream, a bunch of viral moments, and suddenly the subscription counter is doing cartoon numbers. Content-wise, he leans into hangouts, IRL-style segments, and stream-friend chemistry more than any single “signature game,” which is why his channel can shift tones without losing the audience. The downside of living on stream is that mistakes become headlines, and he’s had at least one notable, short-lived Twitch ban right in the middle of peak momentum – sparking the usual debates about on-stream drinking, age, and how strictly Twitch enforces its own rules. Still, the sub peak tells you everything: when his community shows up, they show up hard. | © Twitch / jasontheween

Vedal987 twitch cropped processed by imagy — 3. vedal987 – 343,215

The wildest part of Vedal’s success is that the “star” of his channel isn’t him – it’s Neuro-sama, an AI-powered VTuber whose streams mix rapid-fire chat interaction with gameplay in titles like *osu!* and *Minecraft*, plus singing and improv that somehow feels both robotic and weirdly human. Vedal keeps his identity private and leans into the bit visually (the turtle avatar, the deadpan dev vibe), but the work behind it is no joke: it’s software development turned into entertainment, with viewers watching the project evolve in real time. That novelty brought a different kind of audience to Twitch – people who aren’t just there for a personality, but for the experiment itself, the same way you’d follow a long-running tech demo. The main controversy hit early and hard: the channel was temporarily banned after the AI produced offensive statements, forcing Vedal to tighten filters and treat moderation like an engineering problem. Since then, the story has been about staying on the edge of what livestreaming even is, without letting the AI drive off the road again. | © Twitch / vedal987

Evelone2004 twitch — 2. evelone2004 (Vadim Kozakov) – 459,924

If you’re not on the Russian-speaking side of Twitch, Evelone can feel like a glitch in the matrix – then you see the numbers and realize he’s basically an entire region’s superstar. Vadim Kozakov streams as evelone2004 with a mix of high-energy “Just Chatting,” community-driven chaos, and a strong *Counter-Strike* backbone that keeps his audience locked in even when the stream shifts into pure banter. He’s also built a reputation around esports-adjacent events and showmatches, which helps explain how his channel can pull massive subscription spikes that English-language Twitch barely hears about until the record is already broken. The messy part of his history is platform discipline: he’s dealt with serious Twitch enforcement in the past, including long bans that pushed him to other platforms for stretches, and his name still carries that “one wrong moment becomes a months-long problem” cautionary tale. Even so, the current peak speaks to how loyal his core community is – when Evelone runs a big moment, it lands like a holiday. | © Twitch / evelone2004

Kai Cenat twitch cropped processed by imagy — 1. KaiCenat (Kai Carlo Cenat III) – 1,112,947

One million subs isn’t a flex anymore – it’s a landmark, and Kai Carlo Cenat III is the guy who made it real on Twitch. Kai’s content is built like a variety show: IRL bits, marathon “Mafiathon” streams, sleep-stream absurdity, celebrity drop-ins, and the kind of group chemistry you get from AMP that keeps the camera rolling even when nothing “planned” is happening. He didn’t just break the record; he turned the climb into an event, with every milestone feeling like a live sports moment the chat is scoring in real time. Of course, being that big means the chaos spills outside the stream sometimes – most notably the Union Square giveaway in New York that escalated into real-world disorder and put him in the middle of a legal and PR storm. He’s also had smaller Twitch headaches along the way (brief suspensions, stream mishaps, the usual platform friction that comes with pushing boundaries). Still, the reason the number is so absurd is simple: Kai doesn’t stream like he’s filling time – he streams like he’s hosting the internet for the night. | © Twitch / KaiCenat

1-15

Twitch has a funny way of turning a single great week into history: a subathon catches fire, a community piles in, and suddenly a channel is rewriting the record books in real time. This list tracks the names who’ve pulled off the biggest subscription peaks the platform has ever seen – some with marathon streams, others with years of loyalty paying off.
