Why Kyedae Took a Streaming Hiatus
Kyedae announced an indefinite hiatus in April 2025. She said she felt done with streaming and had started to feel resentment toward it.
At the time, she said she might go live “randomly”. That did not happen on her own channel. She did appear in the background of other creators’ streams. She also showed up in YouTube videos with friends.
In October 2025, a fan asked if she would return to Twitch anytime soon. Kyedae replied with “No.”
What Kyedae Plans to Stream After Her Twitch Return
Valorant has been a major part of Kyedae’s streaming career. She does not plan to limit herself to it this time.
She shared this in a vlog by her sister, Sakura Shymko. Kyedae said she does not want to play only Valorant when she comes back. She also said she recently messaged someone about getting into NoPixel. She has considered GTA RP with the NoPixel 5.0 update.
