Renowned livestreamer Thomas “Sykkuno” has made a highly anticipated comeback to Twitch, marking his return to the platform after a hiatus of about two years. This announcement comes hot on the heels of Sykkuno expressing his gratitude to his fans on YouTube for their unwavering support throughout his absence.
Sykkuno, celebrated for his engaging persona and entertaining collaborations with fellow content creators like Pokimane and Disguised Toast, originally transitioned to YouTube in May 2022. However, it seems that his tenure with the platform was slated for a two-year duration, prompting his decision to return to Twitch.
During his return stream on Twitch, Sykkuno expressed his excitement at being “back home,” emphasizing his appreciation for the platform’s new features. He remarked, “There’s definitely a lot of new stuff that I have to get used to. Um, so we’ll see! We are back home guys, this is where we started.”

Having garnered over four million followers during his initial stint on Twitch, Sykkuno’s return was met with enthusiasm from fans eager to witness his triumphant comeback. Reflecting on his extended absence, he admitted to missing certain aspects of Twitch, particularly the animated emotes that add a unique flair to viewer interactions.
“We got re-partnered last night or something like that. It’s been a while guys, first time in over two years now we are back on Twitch. Kind of missed it, kind of missed it. Mostly the animated emotes I missed a lot. We got a bunch of new ones, I think I already said that,” Sykkuno remarked during his stream.
Despite his prolonged hiatus from Twitch, Sykkuno acknowledged feeling a bit out of touch with the platform’s functionalities, joking about his rusty knowledge of Twitch’s VOD (Video on Demand) system. Nonetheless, his return stream proved to be a resounding success, attracting over 20,000 concurrent viewers eager to welcome him back to his original stomping grounds.
As Sykkuno embarks on this new chapter of his streaming career, fans can anticipate more engaging content and thrilling collaborations on Twitch. With his infectious charm and loyal fanbase, Sykkuno’s return is poised to make waves in the ever-evolving landscape of online entertainment.
