Twitch is a powerhouse in the entertainment industry, boasting some of the most popular streamers and content creators. Personalities on the platform attract millions of viewers with their dynamic content, which appeal to a wide range of preferences, going beyond just gaming.
2024 has been a vibrant year for the leading live-streaming platform, as it has amassed over 240 million monthly viewers. The leading cause of this is, of course, the content creators.
With this surge in viewership, the Twitch landscape has become incredibly competitive. This, coupled with competition from other live-streaming platforms like YouTube, Kick, and Rumble, has caused streamers to put out even better content for their viewers.
This article lists the five most subscribed Twitch streamers as of July 2024.
5) HasanAbi
Political commentary and satire are some of the core tenets of HasanAbi’s Twitch channel. In a platform dominated by gaming content, this streamer has found a way to rise to the top while catering to a predominantly non-gaming audience.
Currently holding 67,421 active subscribers as of July 2024, with an average viewership of 36,039 viewers per stream, HasanAbi has made a name for himself by discussing relevant news within the political scene of America.
The Just Chatting streamer has been on Twitch since March 2018 and has seen significant growth in 2024, largely due to the upcoming US elections in November and the surrounding drama.
HasanAbi reacts to political news on stream, shares his personal views (quite emphatically), and has a great rapport with his audience. Although he makes comments that are sarcastic and can sometimes be considered strong, he is well-educated in the field of politics, with a degree in political science.
Initially, HasanAbi started off playing video games like GTA or Red Dead Redemption, but his audience seemed to find his political commentary more entertaining than his actual gameplay. Soon enough, he made a pivot to the Just Chatting section of Twitch.
4) CaseOh
Case “CaseOh” Baker has an inspiring story, from struggling to buy streaming equipment to being one of the biggest streamers on Twitch, with 68,178 active subscribers so far in 2024 and an average of over 58,000 views per stream.
In September 2021, the Arkansas-based content creator started uploading short format videos onto TikTok, primarily of him playing NBA 2K, a popular basketball video game. He would then join Twitch right after. Soon enough, his TikTok blew up with views, and a large part of this traffic was directed to his Twitch channel.
Case streams a variety of content, from horror games to interactions with his Discord members, wherein he rates and ranks items that his community gives him. His entertaining personality, ability to take jokes well, and welcoming atmosphere are what make his fanbase respect him as a content creator.
3) JYNXZI
Nicholas “JYNXZI” is a prominent Rainbow 6 Siege streamer whose content is often characterized as being “unhinged”. He has rapidly risen to fame, with 105,814 active subscribers as of July 2024, and an average viewership of 60,609 viewers per stream. His approach to streaming is, put lightly, different.
For starters, unlike every other famous R6 player, JYNXZI uses a controller, with which he is incredibly capable. His gaming prowess using such unorthodox methods is not the only reason why he’s so popular though. The American is always at a high energy level, often raging, talking smack, breaking things, and overall just being expressive while gaming on stream.
His large following is not just because of his livestreams but also due to the TikToks and Instagram Reels posted about him. The short format videos perfectly depict the 22-year-old’s energetic, off-the-rails personality.
Essentially, JYNXZI’s cross-platform availability, impressive technical skill, and entertaining personality are what make him so popular.
2) Kai Cenat
New York-born content creator Kai Cenat has become a household name, with a large part of his growth happening in 2024. He has 128,977 active subscribers on Twitch so far, and there are no signs of his climb stopping.
Cenat and his unmatched energy have led to him having a current average of over 132,000 concurrent viewers per stream. His content is relatable and hilarious, keeping viewers engaged throughout, even when he’s streaming for long durations, like in his recent 100-plus hour Elden Ring streams.
This, coupled with his collaborations with celebrities like Kevin Hart, has caused Cenat to reach wider audiences in different fields of entertainment. His diverse content, from gaming and celebrity interactions to skits and IRL streams, is part of why he has gained such a following.
The Twitch star initially gained a following on his YouTube channel and then decided to make a switch to live-streaming.
1) IBAI
Currently holding 130,313 active subscribers, video gaming sensation and three-time Streamer of the Year award winner, Ibai Llanos, known simply on Twitch as IBAI, has had a record-breaking year so far. His meteoric rise to fame is characterized by a unique approach to streaming, his charismatic personality, and gaming skills, specifically in League of Legends.
The former content creator for G2, a Spanish esports team, made a pivotal decision in 2021 by focusing completely on his Twitch career. He currently averages over 320,000 viewers per stream, putting him ahead of his rivals on the platform by a considerable margin.
A primary reason for this popularity is the variety that he implements in his content. Apart from League of Legends, he also streams other video games like FIFA or Among Us. Additionally, he hosts interviews, collaborations, and special events, like charity and IRL streams.
Overall, Ibai’s transparency and authenticity have translated into him becoming the most subscribed Twitch channel in 2024 so far.
