From Loeya to Ninja – The biggest content creators in Fortnite
With their YouTube videos and Twitch streams they inspire millions. These are the most successful Fortnite Creators
Jump, loot, build, shoot, win. For the past four years, Fortnite has not only become one of the most popular games in the world, but also a pop culture phenomenon. The battle royale title from Epic Games also owes this to the many personalities who made Fortnite big with their content and keep it alive. Here are the biggest YouTubers and Twitch streamers of the colourful shooter.
Lachlan
Australian “lachlan” started his YouTube career in March 2013, landing his first successes with his Minecraft and Pokémon GO videos. But he made his breakthrough thanks to his Fortnite content. This has not only brought him his current 14.7 million subscribers on YouTube. Lachlan was also immortalised as an epic skin in Fortnite.
Ali-A
Alistair Aiken, better known as “Ali-A”, also started his YouTube career playing a game other than Fortnite. In 2015, he received the Guinness World Records as the most popular Call-of-Duty channel by views and subscribers. Today, however, the Brit has turned his attention to Fortnite and has thus been able to expand his fanbase even further. With 17.5 million subscribers, he is one of the absolute megastars of the gaming scene.
Loeya
Swedish Loeya is considered the best Fortnite player in the world. However, she is also extremely successful as a streamer – and is also among the absolute top in this genre. Around 1.5 million people follow her Twitch channel, on which she plays Fortnite almost daily. Since March 2021, the 23-year-old has been playing and streaming under the flag of Fnatic.
Standard Skill
With over three million subscribers on YouTube, Standart Skill, real name Philipp Geißler, is one of the most popular German Fortnite channels. He also presents a lot of content on Grand Theft Auto 5 on his channel, but Standart Skill is not just a gamer. Three years ago, he also published a song about Fortnite called “Skybase”. He has also already written two books titled “Voll verglitcht!” and “Verfluxt noch mal!”.
Ninja
When it comes to Fortnite, there’s no way around this man. Tyler Blevins, better known as “Ninja”, owes an incredible career to the Battle Royale game. 24 million people follow his content on YouTube, 17 million on Twitch. In 2018, he brought the then viewership record to Twitch when he teamed up with rapper Drake to play Fortnite, attracting over 600,000 people to his stream. In 2019, he made Time Magazine’s legendary “100 Most Influential People” selection.
