However, as part of his rapid rise through the Twitch ranks, streamerKai Cenatis now fast approaching xQc’s sub numbers, and could soon overtake him. Despite having similar counts though, there are some big differences inhowthey got the subs.
Kai Cenat aiming to overtake xQc in subs
Twitch subs cost around $5 usually (prices fluctuate with regional pricing), but users can also opt to purchase more expensive tier 2 and 3 subs, for $10 or $25 respectively. There are also gifted subs too, where one user gifts a sub to another, or many, users.
Although Twitch does not disclose precise sub numbers, stats site ‘TwitchTracker‘ provides a very close estimate. At the time of writing, Kai Cenat has approximately 69,028 subs, while xQc has 76,821.
What’s most surprising about these stats though, is that over 25,000 of Kai’s subs have been ‘gifted’, whereas this number is only 2,888 for xQc.
Whether Kai is able to keep up his momentum and take the top spot remains to be seen. While Kai’s sub count is the result of a big hype train building over the last few months, xQc’s is just his usual numbers, without him really pushing for more subs.
