Exciting news for fans of Valkyrae! After a brief hiatus to spend quality time with her family, the popular streamer is set to make her return to streaming this week. Valkyrae, also known as Rachell Hofstetter, announced her comeback through her official Twitter account, revealing that she will resume creating streaming content on YouTube in just a few days.
For the past three years, Valkyrae has held the title of YouTube’s most-watched female streamer, solidifying her position as one of the industry’s most prominent figures. Despite many of her peers signing lucrative contracts with other platforms, Valkyrae has chosen to stay loyal to YouTube.
Last year, she inked a multi-year deal with the platform, ensuring her presence on YouTube at least until the end of 2024. Fans can look forward to Valkyrae’s return as she continues to entertain and engage her audience through her streaming endeavors on YouTube.
Valkyrae made the decision to temporarily step away from her regular streaming schedule at the start of July to attend her cousin’s wedding in Germany and enjoy quality time with her family. As a streamer with a dedicated and sizable fanbase, her followers eagerly awaited her return and expressed their anticipation through tweets and messages.
Acknowledging her fans’ curiosity and excitement, Valkyrae assured them that her hiatus would be coming to an end in just a “few more” days. She even teased her upcoming streams, promising some “crazy” and exciting content for her audience to look forward to.

It seems that Valkyrae’s recent break from streaming is not her first time taking time off. Over a year ago, she announced a “very long” break from streaming, but this time it wasn’t due to family reasons. During that break, Valkyrae embarked on exciting travel adventures, visiting places like Japan and New York City, among others.
In addition to her online streaming career, Valkyrae is starting to venture into big-name film and TV roles. Earlier this year, it was revealed that she would be lending her voice to the character Squad Commander Red in Netflix’s animated series, Sonic Prime. More recently, Valkyrae has secured a role in The Family Plan, an upcoming action-comedy movie featuring Mark Wahlberg.
A few months ago, she shared her plans to begin the adoption process, but with a unique twist. Instead of adopting a baby as her own child, Valkyrae intends for her mother to be the primary caregiver, effectively treating the child as a little sibling. Valkyrae would provide financial support to ensure the child’s well-being and upbringing.
