CHICAGO — Friendsgiving as you know it will never be the same. Every November, groups of friends gather around a table IRL. But this year, we’re changing the game with an event that lets gamers celebrate with their online friends all across the country.
McDonald’s® USA and FaZe Clan, the digital-native lifestyle and media platform rooted in gaming, are joining forces to host the first-ever Friendsgaming: a juicy new tradition, inspired by the undeniable way McDonald’s just hits different during an intense gaming session. Fans are invited to celebrate their online friendships with the epic combo of gaming and the official fuel of Friendsgaming: our Crispy Chicken Sandwiches – southern style fried chicken favorites, always cooked to crispy, juicy and tender perfection.
Friendsgaming will officially kick off at 8:00 p.m. ET on Sat. Nov. 20, with a special live Twitch stream on FaZe Swagg’s channel, starring FaZe Swagg, FaZe JSmooth, FaZe Booya and FaZe Santana. Grab your squad, order your Crispy Chicken Sandwiches, unbox your exclusive McDonald’s x FaZe Clan gaming gear and tune in to watch the legends have a Friendsgaming feast live from their living room, while reminiscing on their friendship and playing one of their favorite games.
