Felix Kjellberg (pictured in 2019) released the video in 2010.

Kjellberg registered his "PewDiePie" YouTube account on 29 April 2010, after forgetting the password to his old account.[2][lower-alpha 1] His first YouTube upload was a different Minecraft video, which he deleted and no longer has access to.[4][5] Nonetheless, "Minecraft Multiplayer Fun" has been cited as Kjellberg's first video by various outlets.[6][7][8] Kjellberg described his commentary at the time as 'shy', and stated "it was so weird to me, sitting alone in a room talking into a microphone. That was unheard of back at the time. No one really did it."[6]

Released on 2 October 2010,[1] the video is Kjellberg's oldest available for public viewing.[9][10] The video was released while Minecraft was still in its alpha stage of development. The video's description reads: "My friend was going to show me something inside the building, somehow a zombie had spawn waiting for us in his minecart." Indeed, the video featured "what sounded like a young man laughing heartily at an unlucky zombie that had gotten stuck in a tree."[11] The video featured mainly Swedish off-screen commentary from Kjellberg and Xebaz, although there is occasional swearing in English.[12] This is in contrast to the English he has primarily employed in his later videos.[11]


Reception and legacy


"Minecraft Multiplayer Fun" has been viewed over 20 million times as of January 2022.[1] The video itself has been cited as one that turned Kjellberg "into [a] huge YouTube star" by Business Insider, as well as one of the "10 most important videos in YouTube history" by Observer.[7][10]

Despite Minecraft being particularly notable within the Let's Play community, which Kjellberg helped to popularize, he did not upload playthroughs of the game during early periods of the game's popularity.[13][14] He stated in a video that "it felt like people were playing it just because it was popular, and not because they were actually [having fun] doing it."[13] However, in 2019, Kjellberg began to regularly upload Minecraft gameplays on his channel; Polygon wrote that he began to play the game, in part because, "he feels that he is flexible enough to not have the game define his channel."[14] The Verge cited one content strategist stating that Kjellberg was the top creator for the Minecraft keyword.[13]
