xQc shows off exactly how much money he used to earn on Twitch
Félix “xQc” Lengyel took a moment to share with his viewers exactly how much money he would earn on Twitch when his stream was based there, and his fans were left impressed despite the popular streamer claiming the shared figure was “below average.”
xQc is a renowned name in the streaming industry, with followers spanning multiple millions across a number of platforms. The Canadian content creator streams consistently, which is one of the reasons why he boasts such a large and loyal fan following. While many content creators avoid talking about their earnings, only sharing them through
accidental leaks, xQc took a moment to purposefully reveal how much money he would make on Twitch. The streamer stated the number wasn’t as high as a typical day, but it still left viewers in awe of what was possible for the creator on the platform.
How much money xQc made in a day on Twitch
Streamer xQc revealed that he could easily pull in well over $40,000 on what he called a “bad day” by streaming on Twitch just a few short years ago.
xQc discussed how much he would typically earn on a below-average day while streaming on Twitch prior to his
switch to Kick. The streamer provided the figure of just a little under $46,000 in total, emphasizing that this was much less money than what he could potentially earn. He stated that the figure was taken from a day some time between 2019 and 2023. While xQc was clearly aware of just how money this was, he also reiterated that this wasn’t his usual revenue and that he could easily make more.

xQc broke down the figures further from there, explaining just how much each element contributed to the full day’s earnings. $3,749 was from paid subscribers, $6,663 from Amazon Prime subscribers, and a smaller figure of $427 was from gifted subscribers. Ads were the major factor however, contributing a massive $33,632 to his total revenue, while cheers generated a respectable $361. No value was provided by the other miscellaneous sources of potential revenue on Twitch, including hype chat, bounties, and a few others.
While the streamer downplayed how much he earned on that day, fans have reacted differently. Many marveled at just how high these earnings were and how lucky xQc has been to reach a level of financial success that most others will only ever hope to achieve. Others claimed that the ad payout at that time was at a peak time for such ads on Twitch, and that streamers don’t earn as much from ads these days.
Not all of the reaction has been positive, with some claiming the streamer was likely

to earn such a high amount of money in a single day. Others have pointed to December earnings being unusually high for most streamers, questioning whether this was really a “bad day” for xQc or if this was near to his maximum daily earnings potential on Twitch.
Regardless of fans’ divided reactions, most are united in asking the streamer to show his revenue from a “good day,” if this was actually a bad one. And as much money as this represents, it still pales in comparison to some of the figures xQc has hit on in his more recent
gambling streams.
