The tagline “Power Your Hunger” strikes many chords. However, to get a ‘taste’ of the console, KFC claims players will have to wait until the end of the year. Towards the final moments of the trailer the reveal date is shown, i.e, you can get the console in December 2020, if it exists. 

Coming back to reality, KFC looks to be taking a dig at the newly launched PS5. The PS5 launch event was one of the most viewed live streams in history. We assume it was an attempt from the fast-food chain to steal the spotlight.

The design of the PS5 did cause quite a stir on the internet. While many applauded, several others were rather mocking. Users commented on how the PS5 looks like a WI-FI router among other stuff. 

KFC grabbed the right opportunity and launched something funny yet creative. It is safe to assume that there is no truth behind their gaming console. They even captioned the post ‘The Future of Gaming’, which was Sony’s tagline for PS5. 

Many replied to KFC gaming’s tweet including Xbox official Twitter. Take a look at the reactions below.
