PewDiePie Announces Break from YouTube

YouTuber Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg has announced that he is taking a break from his content creation, his second over the course of the past year.

PewDiePie made the announcement on his channel on January 8th: “I FORGOT TO MENTION A FEW THINGS! I’m taking some time off to chill, epic” he said, according to Dexerto.

PewDiePie also announced that he had raised $900k in 2020 for charity, an amazing accomplishment for his channel.

“I might not stream for a while either, just to take some full time off, and come back fully charged. So I’ll be offline for a week, two weeks, maybe three weeks. I don’t know. I know it’s kind of a ball-buster to end here, but I don’t really take breaks and I feel like I just need it. So…” he said.

It’s unclear when he will return, although he eluded that he may be gone for a few weeks.
