FaZe Sway

Is FaZe Sway still in FaZe? Why did FaZe Sway get kicked out of FaZe?

As of November 2026, FaZe Sway is not in FaZe Clan: FaZe cut him on April 27, 2024, with more than a dozen other creators, in what Banks called a reboot of the company. The Arizona Republic reported on April 30, 2024 that FaZe let go of 17 gamers on April 27 and listed Sway among them. Dot Esports named him alongside Cizzorz, Kalei, H1ghSky1 and others, and Dexerto wrote on May 1, 2024 that FaZe cut long-serving creators to build a smaller team of 14 members. FaZe did not give a reason for any one creator, and we found no statement from Sway on why he was cut. He still goes by FaZe Sway on YouTube, Twitch and TikTok, and we found no report that FaZe signed him again. Who is left in FaZe now is in our FaZe Clan hub.

What happened to FaZe Sway? Why did FaZe Sway stop playing Fortnite?

FaZe Sway has not said on the record why he moved away from Fortnite, in anything we could source; what is public is that his YouTube uploads switched to ARC Raiders in early 2026. His newest Fortnite gameplay videos, such as “UNREAL RELOAD *SOLO* KILL RECORD”, date from about a year ago, per the upload ages on his channel. From about March 2026 his videos are ARC Raiders raids, including “INSANE CONTROLLER ON PC 1M RAID w/ Tfue & Issa”, and his channel feed shows a run of ARC Raiders uploads through April 15, 2026, a short on September 15, 2026 and a Resident Evil 8 playthrough on October 17, 2026. Earlier, his channel has a video titled “The End of FaZe Sway” from about two years ago and one titled “THE RETURN OF THE BEST CONTROLLER PLAYER..” from about a year ago. We have not verified what he says in either, so we do not characterize them.

Why did FaZe Sway leave FaZe in 2022?

FaZe Sway announced he had left FaZe Clan on September 13, 2022 and was back two days later, and he did not give a reason in anything we could source. Dot Esports reported that he tweeted “I’m done,” confirmed about an hour later that he had left, and turned his profile picture and banner solid black. Per Dexerto, he said in an Instagram reel he would “explain when I’m ready,” then tweeted on September 15 that he had joined FaZe, and on September 16 posted a video of himself in a revitalization chamber being “reintroduced” to FaZe as the “perfect gamer.” Dexerto wrote that fans were divided, with some calling it a publicity stunt. Esports.gg reported that the return came with a promised relaunch, new merch and community tournaments including Sway Series II.

Why did FaZe Sway get banned?

The ban FaZe Sway is known for is from Epic Games, not a platform: in July 2021 Epic permanently removed his Fortnite Support-A-Creator code. Per Dexerto on July 20, 2021, he tweeted that his code had been taken away “permanently,” and a screenshot of Epic’s email cited “violations of the Terms of Service you agreed upon when joining the program.” He later said on a Twitch stream that it was over account sharing with viewers, not over his social media posts, as some fans had guessed. Epic’s rules say “Account buying, selling, or sharing is not allowed.” He tweeted that he “needed this” as a wake-up call, and told his stream he did not really care.

Why is FaZe Sway banned on Twitch? Why did FaZe Sway get banned on TikTok? What happened to his Twitch?

We found no report in an outlet we accept that FaZe Sway was banned on Twitch or TikTok, so we do not repeat one. What is public as of November 2026: his YouTube page still links twitch.tv/fazesway, whose bio reads “20 | 4M on Youtube | 3M on Instagram | 1.5M on Twitter,” written when he was 20. His YouTube page links his TikTok as @therealfazesway, which has about 1 million followers and 168 videos; the plain @fazesway handle on TikTok is not his. The best-documented ban in his story is the July 2021 removal of his Fortnite creator code by Epic Games, covered above.

If that changes, this entry will say so.
