Clix became the first gamer in the world to ever obtain an "Unreal" rank in Fortnite.[5]

On September 14, 2024, Clix was involved in a swatting incident with the Florida police at the Boca Raton Town Center Mall during a live streaming. The police presence caused the location to be evacuated, shut down and interrupted Clix's Twitch stream.[7]
In March 2025, Clix announced a collaboration with Gunnar Optiks for a new pair of gaming glasses, dubbed “Goggles,” to reduce eye strain during extended gaming sessions.[8]
