Making the decision early last month, popular Twitch mainstay Pokimane opted to take a break from the streaming scene to take time for her mental health, telling her fans she felt burnt-out and was lacking motivation. Viewers have since eagerly awaited the streamer’s return, with Pokimane arguably enjoying the most popular stint of her career over the last year.
It seems the streamer will be back much sooner than some might expect, however, with Pokimane taking to Twitter to announce that she’ll be streaming tomorrow at 12pm PST. According to the Twitch star, this will be her “official return stream,” so those wondering if it’s just a one-off will be happy to know that it will seemingly mark Pokimane’s return to the platform.
Of course, Pokimane hasn’t been entirely gone throughout her month-long hiatus, with the streamer jumping onto Twitch during her break and holding an impromptu broadcast. During the stream, she was honest about her break and what had changed during her time away, calling it a “life overhaul.” Clearly, she found some new perspective during her time away from the camera, revealing that she’s found some new motivation and is excited to return to Twitch and continue making content for her fanbase. It seems Pokimane is genuinely much happier following her time away, which is fantastic seen as she claimed to be struggling with her mental health prior to her break from the spotlight.
Of course, Pokimane did have to come out and address some controversies during her break from social media, with many accusing the Twitch star of being behind YouTube’s polarizing decision to ban Leafyishere. The divisive YouTuber was removed from the platform for his comments on Pokimane, leaving the Twitch star in the line of fire when his channel was deleted from the site. Poki was quick to respond, however, telling fans: “I’d like to clarify I had nothing to do with leafy’s ban.”
On August 18, she also posted an apology video on YouTube going over some of the other, more prevalent controversies surrounding her over the last few months, including striking videos where people used her content and allegedly hiding her relationships to get more donations. The video was divisive, however, receiving 189,000 likes and 173,000 dislikes. Evidently, it’ll be interesting to see whether Pokimane‘s return will be a fresh start for the streamer and her community, especially with her claiming she’s feeling reinvigorated following her time away.
