IShowSpeed has reached one million followers on Twitch just eight days after his return to the platform. The streamer, who had been permanently banned in December 2021, resumed streaming on Twitch in July 2025 during a trip across Eastern Europe.
IShowSpeed, known for his energetic broadcasts, had moved to YouTube following his ban on Twitch, where he continued to build a significant audience.
Although his Twitch ban was lifted in 2023, he did not return to streaming on the platform until two years later.
During his recent streams, IShowSpeed visited various locations, creating what many viewers described as a virtual vacation.
His broadcasts included moments that quickly gained attention online, contributing to the rapid increase in his follower count.
Reacting to reaching one million followers while in a car, IShowSpeed told his viewers, “Who would have ever thought? I really came back to this platform after four years. After four years, I hit one million. That’s crazy.”
