Popular streamer Asmongold has said he is considering taking a break from streaming for up to six months, citing his father’s declining health and the demands of maintaining a consistent broadcast schedule.
Speaking during an August 2025 livestream, the creator responded to a video from fellow influencer Tectone, which featured an earlier clip where Asmongold described himself as “fried” from streaming obligations and managing his father’s medical care.
“It’s not something I’ve entirely decided on, but I’m being pulled in a lot of different directions,” he explained. “I have no idea what’s gonna happen. For me, there’s a lot of fatigue that sets in.”
The 35-year-old streamer said he had previously been a caretaker for his mother for eight years, and is now supporting his father, whose recovery will still require long-term assistance.
Asmongold confirmed that no decision has been finalised regarding the length or timing of any potential hiatus. However, many viewers encouraged him to prioritise family.
Some suggested he hire an in-home caretaker, but he noted that his father preferred his direct involvement.
Messages from fans urged him to spend quality time with his father, with some recommending activities such as camping or fishing.
Although Asmongold has taken short breaks from streaming before, a six-month absence would be unusual given his current status as the most-watched streamer in the world, achieved through multi-streaming on both Kick and Twitch.
The streamer has built a following since his early days as a World of Warcraft-focused content creator, later expanding into broader commentary.
Whether he steps away temporarily or continues his schedule, his audience has expressed support for his decision-making during this period.
