Kai Cenat breaks Twitch records by earning 500k subscribers in historic Subathon

Twitch superstar Kai Cenat has once again made streaming history, smashing records during his latest substation event, Mafiathon 2. The marathon, which began on November 1, has propelled Cenat into unprecedented territory, with his subscriber count soaring past 500,000 - an achievement never before seen on the platform.

The seeds for this historic moment were planted in October when Cenat teased Mafiathon 2 during a high-profile stream featuring WWE legend John Cena. This event came at a crucial time for the streamer, whose previous record as Twitch’s most-subscribed creator had been overtaken by Ironmouse on September 30. Determined to reclaim his crown, Cenat’s substation quickly gained momentum.

Just 11 days into the event, Cenat surpassed Ironmouse’s record of 326,252 subscribers. The surge didn’t stop there, by Day 15, his subscriber count hit 400,000—a staggering number for any content creator. However, on the 21st day, Cenat achieved the seemingly impossible, becoming the first Twitch streamer to break the 500,000-subscriber mark.

Reflecting on the milestone, Cenat took to social media, expressing his gratitude and disbelief. “This is surreal,” he tweeted, thanking his fans for their unwavering support. Hours later, his subscriber count climbed to 510,000, with Cenat reassuring followers that the journey was far from over.

Will Kai Cenat hit a million subscribers?

Support from fans and the broader Twitch community poured in, with celebratory messages flooding social media. Comments like, "The sky’s the limit!" and aspirations for him to reach even higher milestones showcased the enthusiasm surrounding his achievement. Twitch joined the celebration, tweeting, “There’s no stopping @KaiCenat. 500K and counting.”

As of now, Cenat’s subscriber count has exceeded 512,000, and his overall follower base on Twitch has surged past 14.7 million, solidifying his position among the platform’s top five most-followed streamers. With Mafiathon 2 captivating millions and his influence on Twitch growing stronger, Kai Cenat’s meteoric rise highlights the impact of perseverance and connection in the ever-evolving world of streaming. Whether or not he reaches further heights in this substation, Cenat has cemented his legacy as a trailblazer on Twitch.
