Ahgren was born in Hollis, New Hampshire, to a French mother and a Swedish father. He attended Hollis Brookline High School and participated in theater and comedy.

At Arizona State University, he became an inaugural member of the Tempe Late Night comedy, improv, and sketch club, later renamed Tempe Underground. He graduated cum laude in 2017 with degrees in English literature and journalism.

Ahgren began streaming on Twitch part-time in 2018 and moved to full-time streaming in 2019. His early broadcasts focused on games including Super Smash Bros. Melee, Mario Party 2, and Dark Souls, while his online presence expanded through collaborations and variety content.

On March 14, 2021, he began a subathon that continued for 30 days. The event made him the most-subscribed Twitch streamer at the time, with approximately 282,000 subscriptions at its peak, surpassing the previous record held by Ninja. The subathon became the defining breakthrough of his streaming career.

Ahgren announced his move from Twitch to YouTube Gaming in November 2021. During his YouTube period, he hosted Mogul Money Live, an in-person game show, and organized the Mogul Chessboxing Championship, which combined chess and boxing competition.

He also organized major Super Smash Bros. events, including the Ludwig Smash Invitational and the Scuffed World Tour. In 2023, he hosted World's Greatest, a gaming competition featuring games such as Street Fighter 6, Minecraft, Tetris, Fortnite, and Trackmania.

In 2024, Ahgren hosted Ludwig's Streamer Games, an athletic competition combining track and field events with modified schoolyard games. The event won Best Streamed Event at the 2024 Streamer Awards. He returned to Twitch in December 2024 after his YouTube live-streaming contract ended.

Ahgren launched The Yard podcast in 2021 with Nick Vercillo, Aiden McCaig, and Anthony "Slime" Bruno. The podcast was nominated in the podcast category at the 2023 Streamy Awards, and YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki appeared as a guest.

In 2022, Ahgren co-founded the creative agency Offbrand with Brandon Ewing, Nathan Stanz, and Nick Allen. The company produced creator-focused events and later became a worker-owned cooperative before closing in 2024. Ahgren also launched Offbrand Games with Jason "Thor" Hall, whose first release was Rivals of Aether II.

Ahgren became a co-owner of Moist Esports in 2023. In 2025, Moist Esports merged with Shopify Rebellion, making Ahgren a co-owner of Shopify Rebellion.

Ahgren won Content Creator of the Year at The Game Awards in 2022. He also won Streamer of the Year at the 2022 Streamer Awards and Variety Streamer at the 2022 Streamy Awards.

His charity projects have included Ludwig Ahgren Championship Series 3, which supported Games for Love, and Ludwig Fast 50, a livestreamed speedrunning event supporting Wings for Life and No Kid Hungry.
