Pokimane is currently one of the most formidable names in the streaming realm. Often dubbed the Queen of Twitch, she is the second most-watched female broadcaster of 2022 so far. However, that kind of fame comes at a cost.

Streaming for long hours in a single sitting can take a toll on a person's mental as well as physical well-being, and in July 2022, Pokimane announced an indefinite break from streaming.

Now, a month later, it seems the hiatus is almost over and Imane could very well resume her streaming journey soon. On August 21, 2022, over a month into her break from social media, she uploaded a few pictures to her official Instagram handle.

The pictures pulled over 980k likes and thousands of comments. The Twitch icon took to her Twitter handle the following day to tease her comeback with some major upgrades to her studio in the form of a new streaming room.

While it's not a full-blown announcement, fans are thrilled for Pokimane's return. Notably, this isn't the first time the Twitch streamer has upgraded her studio space.

Back when YouTube sensation PewDiePie mercilessly roasted her for having an untidy streaming space, she promptly upgraded her setup, hiding all the wires to give it a sharp, finished look.

She also promised her viewers something completely different from her previous streaming room setups. Fans will no doubt be hoping they don't have to wait much longer to witness Pokimane's fresh start on the purple platform with new bells and whistles.
