Discover the 5 most subscribed Twitch streamers of all time. Explore how these creators achieved unparalleled milestones.
Since its debut in 2011, Twitch has evolved into an ever-expanding community, with streamers continuously pushing boundaries and achieving milestones that inspire millions of fans worldwide. Whether it’s a new subscriber record or groundbreaking content, these creators have made their mark on the platform and helped shape its growth into the streaming powerhouse we know today.
Among these, certain individuals have changed Twitch’s standards by achieving high subscriber counts. After Amazon took over the purple platform in 2014, viewers could subscribe to their favorite creators via Prime subs.
Twitch subscriptions, often called “subs,” provide a way for viewers to support their favorite creators while gaining exclusive perks. These subs are divided into 3 tiers, each offering different perks. The subs start at $5 and go up to $25. The Prime subscription, which comes free with the Amazon Prime membership, offers a tier 1 sub.
Streamers often set certain “sub goals” and targets offering different benefits. By hosting subathons, a subscription marathon, streamers have gained a lot of subscriptions and achieved massive milestones. Ludwig was credited for popularizing the concept. His subathon was the first one to have the best execution, which brought Twitch to the attention of the mainstream.

4) Ninja
Ninja was once the most-subscribed streamer on Twitch, having over 269,154 subscribers in April 2018. In contrast, Ninja’s record was set without any subathons or large collaborations, which made his achievement even more remarkable. This cemented his status as one of the most iconic figures in the streaming world at the time. Ninja’s record for the most Twitch subscribers stood unbroken for several years until Ludwig Ahgren passed it during his marathon stream.
👏🏼 LEGEND. ABSOLUTE LEGEND!
