MatPat has accumulated over 17 million subscribers on The Game Theorist alone. Meanwhile, Lunar X announced via press release that his latest channel, Style Theory, managed to reach 1 million within the first few days after its launch. In 2023, he not only held the title of a seven-time Streamy Award winner, but he also hosted the 13th annual event in Beverly Hills, California. For someone who has managed to accumulate so much recognition online, it may be a shock for many that he’s been able to achieve this much at such a young age.

It’s no secret that MatPat has faced controversy in the past, and the YouTuber is no stranger to criticism around his content. For example, he was called out when his fans harassed locals due to his ARG theory. Also, not many agreed with his Five Nights At Freddy‘s timeline. Regardless, he’s still making content to this day, and his work continues to receive recognition.

Fingers crossed that he makes a cameo in the upcoming Five Nights at Freddy’s movie.
