A Twitch star held a new record for subscribers on Wednesday after winning fans with a monthlong live stream at the Amazon-owned platform popular with video game<\/a> players.<\/p>\n

Ludwig Ahgren had more than 283,000 subscript<\/a>ions in what TwitchTracker website ranked as an all-time high, topping well-known Tyler “Ninja” Blevins.<\/p>\n

“Since I started streaming\u2014Prince Phillip died\u2014The Suez Canal got blocked and unblocked\u2014(YouTube<\/a>r) David Dobrik made two apology videos\u2014Jesus of Nazareth died and then rose from the dead,” Ahgren quipped in a tweet before his 31 days of continuous live streaming ended late Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Ahgren launched what he referred to as a subscription marathon in mid-March, originally promising to add a bit of time to the stream for each subscription.<\/p>\n

As his stunt became a sensation, Ahgren set a definite stop time for fear that the Twitch community would keep his stream alive indefinitely, according to US media.<\/p>\n

During the streaming binge, sometimes Ahgren was not in view or off sleeping.<\/p>\n

Ahgren also promised that a portion of each subscription, costing $5 monthly, would be donated The Humane Society or St. Jude’s charities.<\/p>\n

“Records are meant to be broken, I would be lying if I said wasn’t a little sad but congrats @LudwigAhgren on holding the new sub record on twitch,” Ninja tweeted.<\/p>\n

Ahgren has 2.65 million followers, according to TwitchTracker, which ranked him the third most popular streamer at the Amazon-owned platform.\n <\/p>\n\n
