For 10 years, a streamer was live on Twitch daily for 12 hours. Always with the same game, hunting for the next speedrun record. Now he has collapsed and is planning his end on Twitch.
Which streamer is it? In a live stream on June 14, 2026, Twitch streamer SHiFT collapsed. He has been a Twitch streamer since 2014. At the time of this news, he has 702 subscribers according to Twitchtracker.com and 112,857 followers according to his channel.
For about 10 years, he has been gaming every day for 12 hours. Most of the time, as announced for June 15, 2026, he plays SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom. For the game released in 2003, he set the current speedrun world record with 40 minutes and 37 seconds.
In the stream on June 14, SHiFT once again played his SpongeBob game as planned. After finishing the battle against Robo-Patrick in the sewers of Bikini Bottom, SHiFT starts to cry.
It is finally over
– After 25,000 hours in SpongeBob, it’s over
Why did he collapse? The stream from June 14 is no longer viewable on Twitch. However, it also aired on Kick, where the recording is still fully available. At around 07:59:00, after finishing a battle against Robo-Patrick, SHiFT breaks down in tears.
He keeps saying that it is over, they did it:
It is… it is finally over. It is… it is finally over, man. We did it. Two… damn years. It is… it is finally here. I had such pain… playing this game. My hands are going to fall off, man. I think… I think the last thing in the last year was all I had left in me. It will go on. It will live on forever. That is all I ever wanted. […]
For almost 90 minutes, SHiFT reports that he has not been feeling well physically or mentally for a while. Specifically, he has been suffering from hand pain since 2024. He partially no longer dares to press the buttons of his controller for fear of hurting himself. 25,000 hours in one game have simply been too much for his hands.
Additionally, he misses his friends. He misses having fun and he misses having fun while streaming. Concentrating is difficult. And accordingly, it is time to retire from Twitch.
What’s next for him? SHiFT has announced a subathon for August, which was also promoted in his stream on June 14. Furthermore, for today, June 15, until June 21, he has scheduled a full eight-hour streaming program each day.
During his collapse, SHiFT specifically mentions that he wants to step back from Twitch, but also indicates that he still wants to do the event in August. He also wants to continue doing cool things before he finishes the ongoing game.
