Will xQc Profit?

Twitch star Felix xQc Lengyel, like many streamers, was all over Sony’s newest console, the PlayStation 5, when it was launched. And although he loves the design, the famous broadcaster pitched his own concept for the hub of the PS5, for which he expects a profit reduction.

Lengyel explained how he had a way to make things better and really associate players with their individual interactions when loading Astro’s Playroom on the console.

“I want one percent of the sales from this idea,” xQc stressed before digging into his concept. “I think I have this room, back to the main room, as like almost a PS5 hub.”

“The players go in and they can just chill there while they’re waiting for a game to download. Each game they buy, you credit devs to create an asset. So lets say because I finished Dark Souls, you give me a blade that lands here that I can probably customize. Or a helmet,” he elaborated.

With xQc’s concept, each game will have its own resources. They will get “one idea” once a game is finished, and players will have all their accomplishments in one place.

“Like items on their shelves back at home, but in the game. Like a trophy room, but a bit better than that,” he added.

Later on, Lengyel added to his Playroom hub concept by suggesting that players could buy wallpaper such as a “five-dollar PS5 bundle” that would include graffiti or certain colors.

“Like I said, if you’re going to do that, one percent of the profit has to go back to me!” xQc exclaimed. “Otherwise that’s f**king stupid. Because I gave you the idea, come on man.”

Although it is unlikely that Sony is implementing the feature or even deciding to give a share of the benefit to xQc, it is certainly an idea worthy of some consideration from PlayStation.
