Twitch streamer Pirate Software breaks Hype Train record after his channel reached level 106 with over 50,000 gifted subscriptions

Thor "Pirate Software" has once again broken Twitch's Hype Train record, after his channel reached level 106 in roughly three hours. By the end, viewers had gifted more than 50K subscriptions to his community, with over 8 million bits being also spent towards its progress. This comes almost a week after the Amazon-owned company introduced awards with levels reaching 100.

For those unaware, Hype Trains is a core feature of the platform that starts when there is an increased donation from a channel's viewers in the form of gifted subscriptions, hype chats, and bits. Thor himself held the last record, getting to level 55 in December 2023. Four months later, his community outdid themselves.

In a post on X, Pirate Software shared a screenshot noting that the latest World Record attempt ended at level 106, which is already more than the levels revealed in the official announcement from Twitch last week. The almost impossible feat took him a total of 54,380 gifted subscriptions and 8,225,386 bits to achieve.

In his post on X, Pirate Games thanked his viewers and fans who had helped break the record. The streamer wrote out quite an emotional message, stating:

The former Blizzard Employee went on to muse about how the internet landscape had changed over the years. He also urged people to start their own content creation journeys online, saying:

Pirate Software was livestreaming while typing it out. As he realized exactly how big of an achievement his community had delivered by reaching 106 Hype Train, the streamer could not help but cry on camera, only managing to say "Thank you."

The streamer currently has over 500K followers on Twitch, having garnered a lot of popularity over the last year. He even won the Best Software and Game
