Most subscribers
Kai Cenat now holds the record for most Twitch subscribers with 306,621, according to Dexerto. Ludwig's previous record of 283,066 subscribers was surpassed by this. Both of these records were set during 30-day-long subathon streams, in which subscribers may prolong the stream's period.
A streamer's popularity may also be determined by looking at their subscriptions in addition to their viewers and followers. However, unlike followers, the number of subscribers can tell us how well-known a streamer is right now because it fluctuates every month.
Many streamers have beaten the records for the most subscribers at once over the years. Without participating in a subathon, Ninja is credited with setting the record in April 2018 at over 269,000, however, it has since been surpassed. The record is now held by Kai Cenat as a result of his subathon in 2023.
Longest subathon
Emilycc now holds the record for the longest subathon broadcast with a duration of 546 days. The current stream is still active. In order to complete her subathon in two years straight, Emily is currently aiming for a total of 730 days.
The success of Ludwig's subathon has inspired many streams to start their own. Streamers are required to remain active until the timer runs out for each subscription or contribution.
Longest stream
Many streamers have tried to top Los Pollos TV's 161 hours of live broadcasting in April 2020, which established the previous record. Shortly after, CallMeCypher broke the record by continuously broadcasting for 200 hours before it was terminated due to technical issues, as per Dexerto.
There is now just one person holding the record, and it is doubtful that anybody will ever surpass them. GPHustla, a Twitch streamer, aired live for 634 days without pausing. It is the longest solo broadcast on Twitch right now.
Most-viewed Twitch stream
When David 'TheGrefg' Cánovas streamed the Galactus event, which concluded Fortnite Season 4, he set a Twitch record by having the most concurrent viewership of any single Twitch streamer in history.
The Spaniard was observing and responding to the incident, and screenshots seem to show that, before Twitch crashed, he had a total of 660,000 viewers simultaneously watching his livestream.
The previous record was held by Ninja during their 2018 Fortnite match, in which they were joined by the rapper Drake and reached a peak of 635k concurrent spectators.
