“But still can’t beat Elden Ring”: Fans react as Kai Cenat makes history with 1 million Twitch subscribers

Kai Cenat has made history again after hitting 1 million subscribers on Twitch. 

The popular streamer scripted the record during his ongoing subathon, Mafiathon 3. Kai, who was accompanied by other AMP members and internet personalities on the stream, is the first-ever content creator to hit a million subscribers on the streaming platform. 

The news of a new Twitch record also made its way to X, with Pop Base (@PopBase) reporting it. The milestone also garnered various reactions from the Twitter fans. However, a user trolled Kai Cenat by tweeting:

“Bro got 1 million subs but still can’t beat Elden Ring 😭”

In contrast to the troller’s claim, Cenat beat Elden Ring in 2024. During a marathon in May last year, Kai completed FromSoftware’s ARPG in just under 167 hours, with more than 1,700 deaths. He also finished the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC within nearly 100 hours, after 1070 deaths. 

However, Kai Cenat’s Elden Ring marathon streams featured many memorable moments, with him being stuck on different bosses. The streamer brought in a therapist on stream when he couldn’t beat the last Shadow of the Erdtree boss, even after more than 60 hours. 

Cenat beat all the bosses and completed the main title and DLC last year. Later in 2024, he also became the first streamer to have over 500,000 subscribers on Twitch. The streamer also received appreciation from many of his fans after hitting the 1M count.
