PewDiePie

We have left Instagram out because we could not read a dated count we trust. His X bio says "I dont use Twitter", and the account shows zero posts, yet it still has two-thirds of a million followers.

How many followers does PewDiePie have?

About 109.7 million on YouTube and X combined, counting the two figures we could verify. Nearly all of that, about 99%, is his YouTube subscriber base.

PewDiePie YouTube channel stats

PewDiePie is 37. He was born Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg on 24 October 1989 in Gothenburg, so he turned 37 a week ago, on 24 October 2026.

PewDiePie is based in Japan. He moved there with his wife Marzia, an Italian internet personality, and has since semi-retired from YouTube, posting less often and taking breaks from the internet. In 2022 The Japan Times wrote about his "honeymoon phase" vlogs about life in Japan. In 2024 he criticised YouTubers who travel to Japan to make "obnoxious" content for "hate clicks".

PewDiePie age and life stages

PewDiePie age matters for fans because his life has changed so much. He started the channel at 21 as a student, became the biggest creator on YouTube in his mid-twenties, married at 29, and now, at 37, lives a quieter family life in Japan. His videos moved from loud horror playthroughs to calmer vlogs, commentary and hobbies.

PewDiePie real name

His real name is Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg. "PewDiePie" is only his channel name, and fans often call him Felix.

Who is PewDiePie's wife?

His wife is Marzia Bisognin, also known as Marzia Kjellberg. They married on 19 August 2019 and have one child.

How tall is Felix PewDiePie?

People often search for Felix PewDiePie height, but we found no reliable source that states it, so we do not give a number. His Wikipedia page, which we use for his personal details, does not list his height.

Socialblade PewDiePie stats are the easiest way to check PewDiePie subscribers each day. Social Blade tracks his subscriber count, total views and video count, and it is the source for the YouTube numbers on this page. Keep in mind:

• YouTube rounds public subscriber counts, so Social Blade shows about 109 million rather than an exact figure;
• view totals are exact and update as people watch old videos;
• daily changes for a semi-retired channel are small compared with his peak years.

We read his Social Blade page on 31 October 2026 and will refresh the numbers when we next update this page.

PewDiePie vs T-Series

From 2018 to 2019, fans and other creators pushed to keep PewDiePie ahead of T-Series as the most-subscribed channel. T-Series, a company channel, eventually passed him. PewDiePie still reached 100 million first among individual creators.

Why PewDiePie still has so many subscribers

Several things explain why his following stays so large even after he slowed down:

• he was early, starting in 2010 when YouTube gaming was still small;
• he held the top spot for years, which kept bringing new viewers;
• the T-Series race in 2018–19 made his channel a cause that fans joined;
• unsubscribing is rare, so subscribers gained at his peak mostly stay.

His X account is a strange case. With 667,678 followers and zero posts, it is a reserved name rather than an active channel. People who search "pewdiepie followers" usually mean YouTube subscribers, so that is the number to quote. We do not state an Instagram number because PewDiePie is not in Wikipedia's dated list of the most-followed accounts and we could not read a reliable live count.

Is PewDiePie still active?

He is semi-retired. He moved away from a regular upload schedule after 2019, and his channel's growth has slowed. His total of 4,668 videos is still one of the largest back catalogues among top creators.

Apart from YouTube, PewDiePie has worked on several projects:

• Tuber Simulator, a mobile game released on 29 September 2016;
• Netglow, a network he founded, launched in April 2017;
• Tsuki, a clothing brand;
• a sponsorship deal with G Fuel from January 2019.

PewDiePie's channel is a useful benchmark for anyone tracking creator growth. A few lessons stand out from his numbers:

• Subscribers last longer than activity. He uploads far less than at his peak, yet he keeps about 109 million subscribers, because most people never unsubscribe.
• Views keep adding up. His 29.56 billion views keep rising slowly as people find old videos through search and recommendations.
• Platform matters. His X account has a large following with no posts at all, which shows that a famous name draws followers even on apps a creator does not use.
• Company channels play a different game. T-Series, a record label posting many videos, overtook him, which is why rankings often separate individual creators from brands.

How PewDiePie's subscriber count is measured

YouTube shows public subscriber counts rounded to three significant figures once a channel passes 1,000 subscribers. That is why trackers display 109 million rather than an exact count. Views and video counts are shown in full. When you compare creators, compare like with like: subscribers with subscribers, and views from the same date.
