About

Andre Rebelo, known online as TypicalGamer, makes gaming videos and livestreams. He launched the Fortnite development studio JOGO in May 2024.[1] By April 2025, he had become the first creator to reach one million followers within Fortnite.[2]

YouTube and the move into development

Rebelo first became known on YouTube for Red Dead Redemption videos, then made Grand Theft Auto V and Fortnite content.[3] His brother Billy suggested the Typical Gamer name, and Rebelo later recalled leaving college twice before pursuing YouTube.[4][5] He signed an exclusive YouTube streaming deal in March 2020.[3]

When JOGO launched, it announced plans to invest more than $2 million in Fortnite game development. Rebelo was CEO and Chad Mustard was COO.[1]

Fortnite cosmetics

A Typical Gamer outfit was scheduled to enter Fortnite's Icon Series in May 2026. The announced cosmetics also included Ruby Redway, an outfit inspired by his wife and fellow creator Samara Redway. His dog Charlie and cat George appeared in the design of the Heist Duffel back bling.[6]
