The gaming community is abuzz with rumors regarding the alleged deaths of Jesse and Jordan Eckley, widely known as x2Twins. 

The Australian twin brothers are prominent Fortnite players and content creators on platforms like YouTube and Twitch. Unverified claims suggest they passed away due to heart failure caused by excessive sweating during a gaming session, but no credible sources have confirmed these reports.

The rumors originated from a TikTok post that stated, "The twin gamers, known as the x2Twins, both recently passed away. 23-year-old Jesse Eckley and Jordan Eckley both died due to heart failure for sweating too hard in Fortnite. The twin gamers will be missed." Despite the post’s emotional tone, it provided no evidence, and no official statements have been issued by the duo’s family or representatives.


Speculation about their demise intensified due to the brothers' prolonged absence from social media and gaming platforms. Known for their unmatched skill and rigorous gaming schedules—logging over 3,000 hours of gameplay—the x2Twins earned recognition as top Fortnite players in the Oceanic (OCE) gaming scene. Their consistent presence garnered over six million YouTube subscribers and 2.5 million TikTok followers. However, they have not uploaded content or posted updates for months, with their last activity on Instagram dating back to 2022.

Fans and content creators, including YouTuber TimmyFNBR, have weighed in on their disappearance. Timmy noted the twins had not uploaded any content in eight months, suggesting they might be taking a step back from the pressures of gaming and streaming. Many believe their absence could be a much-needed break, given the challenges of sustaining online fame at such a young age.

While the rumors of their deaths have shocked fans, there is no reliable evidence to support the claims. The gaming community is urged to avoid speculation and wait for updates from credible sources. For now, it remains more likely that Jesse and Jordan Eckley are focusing on their well-being after years of intense gaming and content creation.

The x2Twins’ remarkable influence on the gaming world continues to inspire millions. Their fans eagerly await clarification regarding their status, hoping the twins will return to the digital space when ready. Until then, their legacy as leading Fortnite players in Australia remains firmly intact.
