Look, we know it’s been a difficult year. Living in a global pandemic, we have had to deal with countless headlines that we think I just couldn’t be true. And now a KFC video game console? Bear with us …
KFC is no stranger to weird and wonderful marketing tricks. From a chicken thigh mouse and chicken-scented sunscreen and sauce-scented candles to KFC-inspired crocs, they sure know how to get our attention.
So, remember when KFC alluded to a video game console with a “chicken camera” in June and we all thought it was a joke? Turns out it was real, after all. Oh 2020, in the name of Sithis, what have you done?
KFConsole: what we know about the KFC video game console
In fact, we know quite a bit. And it’s not a particularly proud moment in my career as a video game journalist, but here we are. KFC and Cooler Master have teamed up to create a “cube-shaped gaming PC.”
Let’s take that up a notch and tell you that the video game console was also designed to keep chicken warm … While you can’t fry chicken on the console (no, that’s not a suggestion, KFC), you can keep it warm precooked chicken.
It does look a bit like a deep fryer though, doesn’t it? We have to give it to KFC, their timing is perfect. With a large number of gamers still looking for a PlayStation 5, we dare to think that the KFConsole might be the best option.
The console is also VR ready, compatible with Ray Tracing, and designed for 4K TV gaming. Let’s take a look under the hood.
KFConsole Specifications
KFC has taken off and promises that the uniquely designed black and red console being showcased online supports cross-platform compatibility and True 4K resolution with 240 frames per second (fps) and 240Hz output.
Furthermore, it is equipped with an Intel Nuc9 Extreme Compute Element, which By Engadget Devindra Hardawar referred to himself as “the new king of small gaming PCs” in April 2020.

It’s also compatible with Asus-powered graphics that “run as smooth as butter, keeping tearing and falling frames a thing of the past.” The console also has a “hot-swappable GPU slot, the first of its kind.”
That’s impressive, we have to admit it. It also means that you will be able to play that copy of the very real KFC game called I Love You Colonel Sanders Dating Simulator Game you don’t want to admit that it belongs to you.
“Forged from KFC oven fires and built by Cooler Master from scratch, there has never been a more flavorful way to experience the latest titles in stunning 4k, 240fps.”
When will the video game console be released?
KFC has not confirmed any information regarding how or where the console will be launched. KFCGaming’s official Twitter account only confirmed on December 23 that KFConsole is real and not a hoax.
KFCGaming tweeted that the “console wars are over”, and shared a short video clip to introduce KFConsole, along with the hashtag #PowerYourHunger.
I’m just saying here for the record I’m still not convinced it’s real until I can see for myself.
