Nicholas Stewart (born September 26, 2001), better known online as Jynxzi (pronounced JINK-see), is an American Twitch streamer, YouTuber, and player of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege, an online tactical shooter game.[5] He is the eighth most-subscribed Twitch streamer of all time. He was named "Best Breakthrough Streamer" and "Gamer of the Year" at the 2023 Streamer Awards, and later was named "Best FPS Streamer" at the 2024 Streamer Awards.

Career

Stewart started streaming on Twitch in January 2019.[6] Later, in September 2020, Stewart began publishing his content on YouTube, predominantly posting rage compilations and gameplay videos from the video game Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege.[7]

Stewart began gaining popularity through the short-form content he posted on TikTok, which in turn brought more viewers to his Twitch streams.[8] Hunter Cooke of Dot Esports described Stewart as "entertainment personified—the inner monologue that occurs when you die in a frustrating way or get a cheeky kill."[9]

On March 10, 2022, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege (in Y11 currently) announced on Twitter that Stewart will be receiving a streamer charm named Jynxzi, which is an in-game cosmetic that can be obtained by "subscribing to the respective streamer's Twitch channel with a linked Ubisoft account."[10][11]

On March 31, 2023, Stewart joined Spacestation Gaming as their Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege content creator.[12][13] On April 12, 2023, Stewart reached 1 million followers on Twitch. He also became the most-subscribed Twitch streamer globally, with 80,000 active subscribers, surpassing Kai Cenat and xQc.[5] Stewart was the highest-paid Twitch streamer in 2023, with estimated monthly earnings of around $120,842 to $191,527.[14] In December 2023, Stewart signed with talent management company and creative agency Right Click Culture.[15]

On February 17, 2024, Stewart won the "Best Breakthrough Streamer" and "Gamer of the Year" awards at the 2023 Streamer Awards. He was also nominated for "Streamer of the Year" at the same ceremony.[16][17] Stewart was the number one Twitch streamer based on hours watched for the month of February 2024.[18] In March 2024, Ubisoft added an entire in-game bundle containing Jynxzi-themed cosmetics to Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege.[4]

At the 2024 Streamer Awards, Stewart won Best FPS Streamer and was nominated for Gamer of the Year.[19][20] On December 19, 2024, he signed with Brillstein Entertainment Partners for management presentation.[21]

Stewart participated in the 2025 Sidemen Charity Match, a charity event organized by British YouTube group the Sidemen. The match was held on March 8, 2025 at Wembley Stadium, with Stewart playing for the YouTube Allstars team.[22][23] He returned for the 2026 Sidemen Charity Match as a striker for Sidemen FC. The match took place on April 18, 2026, in which Stewart would go on to score two goals and win the Man of the Match award.[24]
