Rachell Hofstetter, known worldwide as Valkyrae, is an American internet personality and award-winning streamer. A Game Awards winner and 2021's most-watched YouTuber—earning her the title "Queen of YouTube"—she's built a career streaming diverse games on platforms like Twitch and YouTube.
Valkyrae streamed Fortnite extensively before taking a break alongside her Twitch departure. Reflecting on it recently, she said: "I haven't played in ages, it was fun. In fact, I really liked it. Might need a bit of practice, but I would definitely play again. Maybe we can do a few more Fortnite streams."
As co-owner of 100 Thieves, an esports and apparel powerhouse since 2018, and a fierce advocate for women in gaming—often teaming up with all-female squads—Valkyrae's influence is undeniable.
Her one caveat? Friends. "I don't think I'd go back to playing alone," she added. Like many streamers, including Ninja—who's recently returned with Fortnite highlights and streams—Valkyrae paused the game but could make a squad-based comeback soon.
