Twitch: The Home of Impressive Records and Milestones in Streaming
Twitch, the world’s oldest and most popular streaming platform, attracts millions of viewers and accumulates billions of hours watched. With the competition in the streaming world growing every day, creators are constantly pushing boundaries and achieving incredible milestones.
Most Subscribers on Twitch
Subscriptions on Twitch serve as a measure of a streamer’s popularity, with subscribers paying a monthly fee to unlock special emotes and benefits. Ludwig Ahgren, who is now a YouTube streamer, holds the record for the most concurrent subscribers on Twitch, reaching an impressive 283,066 during his month-long subathon in 2021. No other streamer has come close to breaking this record.
Longest Subathon on Twitch
Subathons, popularized by Ludwig Ahgren, involve extending a broadcast’s length with each donation or subscription. Emilycc holds the record for the longest subathon on Twitch, streaming continuously for 348 days at the time of writing. In an incredible feat, Emilycc aims to reach 364 days on broadcast. While many streamers offer capped subathons, Emilycc has demonstrated an exceptional dedication to staying online.
Longest Stream on Twitch
GPHustle holds the record for the longest single continuous stream on Twitch, broadcasting for over 634 days. However, Twitch itself temporarily suspended the streamer, prematurely ending the broadcast. The previous records were set by Los Pollos TV and CallMeCypher, but both were surpassed by GPHustle. These records showcase the astonishing commitment of streamers to entertain their audiences.
