The world record for the most viewed Twitch stream is a coveted crown, and has been held by the biggest names on the platform over the years. Here’s a look at the highest peak viewership on a single stream ever, both on Twitch and YouTube.
January 11, 2021 was a historic day for Twitch, as Spanish streaming sensation David ‘TheGrefg’ Cánovas Martínez shattered the record for most concurrent viewers, as he revealed his very own Fortnite skin.
He previously held the record too, for a solo streamer, but his new record beat even livestreams from major broadcasters like ELEAGUE and PlayStation.
Of course, North American streamers still make up the bulk of this list, but non-English speaking streams are growing rapidly on Twitch. Expect to see more streamers from other regions fight for a place among the most-viewed streams ever.

YouTube peak viewers record
Twitch might still be considered the home of video game livestreaming for now, but YouTube has been making up major ground in this area.
Here are the highest viewership peaks on YouTube Gaming, via StreamHatchet:
- PlayStation: 1.4 million
- VJLinkHero: 1.2 million
- Free Fire – Brasil: 1.1 million
- Free Fire – LATAM: 1.1 million
- The RawKnee Games: 1.1 million
- Alpha Clasher: 1 million
- El Rubius: 1 million
- LazarBeam: 900,000
- TechnoBlade: 900,000
- Dream: 700,000
- Felipe Neto: 600,000
- Willyrex: 500,000
- Vegeta777: 500,000
- Dr Disrespect: 500,000
Now that TheGrefg has beaten the previous record so comfortably, it could be a springboard for further success. Although it’s unlikely that 2.4 million will be beaten anytime soon, we could so more streamers crack the 1 million mark, when there is a major event to see.

When Ninja set the record by playing Fortnite with Drake and Travis Scott, it immediately elevated the streaming space more widely, paving the way for more records to be set.
We’ll keep you updated when new records are set and these rankings change, but TheGrefg has secured his spot at number one for a long time to come, no doubt.
