Ludwig has reflected on his most intense charity stunts and addressed his move to multistreaming during the fourth season of State Farm’s Gamerhood competition.
The streaming series features well-known online personalities competing in video game and physical challenges to raise funds for charity.
Returning for his third season, Ludwig joins figures like Mark Phillips and Berleezy in this year’s competition, aiming to raise part of the $100,000 prize pool for causes they support.
In an on-set interview, Ludwig spoke about the lengths he’s gone to for charity, including his widely viewed 2022 Subathon 2.0, where he spent 50 hours in a glass box. That stream raised over $300,000 for Alveus Sanctuary and No Kid Hungry.
However, he highlighted another challenge as one of the most exhausting: playing through the entire Rock Band catalogue to support wildfire relief.
“It took like 12 hours,” Ludwig said, adding that the event raised $250,000 and involved punishments like eating unpleasant food.
Ludwig also discussed his recent transition to multistreaming on both YouTube and Twitch. While previously hesitant, he noted that YouTube’s superior VOD system influenced his decision. “When you stream on YouTube, it’s like a catalog forever,” he said, pointing to its usefulness for viewers.
Episodes of Gamerhood air every Friday in August at 6 PM ET across YouTube, Twitch, and participants’ own platforms.
Ludwig confirmed plans for more fundraising events, including a potential return of the Streamer Games and Fast 50, as he continues to organise high-profile community competitions for charitable causes.
