YouTube superstar PewDiePie has announced he's taking a breaking from the video-sharing platform in 2020 as he's feeling "very tired".

The vlogger hit a whopping 100million subscribers earlier this year but has revealed he won't be working on his videos next year.

Making the announcement in his latest Pew News video, PewDiePie – real name Felix Kjellberg – said he would be going on hiatus in early 2020.


The 30-year-old said: "I am taking a break from YouTube next year. I wanted to say it in advance because I made up my mind."

He went on: "I'm tired. I'm feeling very tired. I don't know if you can tell. Just so you know, early next year I'll be away for a little while. I'll explain that later but I wanted to give a heads up."

Back in August, the internet megastar hinted he might be making a move away from YouTube.

He said: "I do think it would be good for me to take a break at some point. It would be nice to not have YouTube in my brain for the first time in 10 years."


The Swedish star launched his channel back in 2010 and, as well as now hitting 102million subscribers, has amassed 24billion views.

His videos mainly fit into the categories of comedy and video games.

Earlier this year he married his girlfriend Marzia Bisognin.

Marzia also enjoyed some success on YouTube, but quit the platform back in October 2018.

PewDiePie has been hit by controversy during his time on the internet.


In 2017, Disney's Maker Studios cut ties with him after some of his videos featured Nazi imagery and people that he'd paid to hold signs reading "death to all jews" and "Hitler did absolutely nothing wrong".
