Veteran YouTube creator PewDiePie is ending his monthly family vlogs, prioritizing his young son’s privacy. PewDiePie has been sharing family-focused videos for years now, but the YouTube star is now moving on from this type of content and has commented on what fans can expect in the future.
Felix Kjellberg, known online as his YouTube username PewDiePie, rose to fame on the platform around 2010 with his hilarious gaming videos. He eventually obtained the world record for most-subscribed YouTube creator, a title he maintained for almost a decade before MrBeast dethroned him in 2022. In late 2025, PewDiePie decided to step away from making gaming videos. Instead, his channel has shifted towards monthly lifestyle vlogs, many of which are focused on his family life with his wife, Marzia Kjellberg, and their three-year-old son Björn. Earlier in May 2026, the YouTuber revealed that these vlogs would also stop eventually, and now that time has finally come.
YouTube Creator PewDiePie Reveals Why He Is Ending His Family Vlogs
On September 22, 2026, PewDiePie shared his latest YouTube vlog titled “Thank you and Goodbye.” Near the end of the video, Kjellberg stated that “It’s the end of the vlogs,” and he will no longer make family-focused videos. “This is my last thing that I’m going to film, which feels really weird,” he continued. PewDiePie and Marzia started these vlogs four and a half years ago, but now they find that their son deserves his own privacy. “The reason we’re stopping is because we didn’t want to go on forever. I also felt that, with Björn growing up, it’s a good time to stop,” said the YouTuber. PewDiePie thanked his nearly 110 million YouTube subscribers for the continuous support for the vlogs, which reach millions of views every time.

Kjellberg added that while he loves sharing videos, he does not like being famous. “I hate that I can’t go to certain kinds of places, and I always have to be mindful of other people staring, sneaking photos, and following you around,” he explained. This also weighed in on his ending his family vlogs, since he wants Björn to “make his own choices.” On the other hand, PewDiePie reassured viewers that he will keep making videos and occasionally share family moments, but he will be more mindful about showing his son on camera. He and Marzia will maintain their monthly newsletter, though, where they will frequently give updates about their life. It is worth noting that PewDiePie’s YouTube and sponsor earnings are still an important source of income for him, which may prompt the creator to keep his channel active.

In the past, PewDiePie almost quit YouTube after a hiatus, revealing that he did not want to make the same type of content forever. His YouTube content has seen various changes in recent years, with the creator no longer uploading videos as often as in his early days. However, it’s rare to see a creator maintain a community as large and stable as PewDiePie’s for over a decade, and his fans will likely continue to support him in this new era.
PewDiePie may not be the most subscribed YouTuber anymore, with YouTubers like IShowSpeed and MrBeast leading the platform, but he remains one of the most influential creators in the platform’s history. PewDiePie was the first YouTuber to reach 10 billion views and has held similar records for years. It remains to be seen what type of content the creator has planned for the future.
