- He gained moderator status in-game on July 26, 2021.
- He was in Cheez Doodles commercials twice.[1][2]

- He has had unfortunate deaths on Stereo Extremeness at 92% twice and 93%, Bloodbath at 95%, 92% on Phobos, and his worst one being 96% on Artificial Ascent.
- Speaking of which, his repeated fails at 92% on several Extreme Demons (also including Allegiance and Welcome to GD News excluding the end-screen) caused the percentage 92% to become a widespread meme amongst his fans, and becoming an apparent symbol of bad luck. Many of his fans have changed their YouTube usernames to one of the fails at 92% he has achieved, most notably Phobos 92% and Allegiance 92%.

- Vortrox has a girlfriend, Gina, who has her own YouTube channel called sleepy.toadstool.[3]
- The reason why Technical received the verification rights for Welcome To GD News is due to Technical's roommate knowing Vortrox personally. Vortrox would show up in Technical's apartment to discuss passing the level's verification to him, an offer Technical accepted.[4]
- He took the least attempts and time to beat Misty Mountains, taking 1,848 attempts (out of all the Extreme Demons he beat).
- Many people know him in the Geometry Dash community because of this GIF on the right.
