YouTube star PewDiePie is stepping back from gaming to focus on fatherhood and personal growth
YouTube star Felix “PewDiePie” Kjellberg is taking a step back from gaming after 13 years on the platform.
In his latest Kjellberg Mail newsletter, he revealed that becoming a father has shifted his priorities.
“Every hour has weight now in a way it didn’t before,” he wrote, explaining that he wants to spend his time on things that matter most.
He clarified that he hasn’t quit gaming entirely, but the days of marathon sessions are behind him.
Instead, he’s focusing on personal growth, learning new skills, and exploring creative projects outside of gaming.
PewDiePie said that while he could still find time to play, he chooses to dedicate his limited hours to other pursuits.
This isn’t his first move away from gaming. Years ago, he explained why he wasn’t making Let’s Play videos as often, and over time his channel has shifted to lifestyle content, hobby vlogs, and occasional gaming.
He shared that experimenting with new projects, like building PCs, has brought fresh excitement to his channel and allowed him to connect with fans in new ways.
PewDiePie’s announcement highlights a new chapter in his life, one focused on fatherhood, personal development, and creative exploration.
Fans have praised the decision, celebrating his choice to prioritize family and meaningful work over endless gameplay.
