The buzz around the X streaming service as a mainstream rival to giants like Kick and Twitch has been hot. Moreover, when the entrepreneur himself took to the internet and shared snippets of X Gaming Streaming service while playing Diablo IV, we knew something big was cooking. Now in a recent X thread, the latter has made a striking revelation. A curious user took to their handle and asked, “Any chances we can get X onto gaming consoles as a streaming app? I’d gladly pay whatever price I have to pay to be able to directly stream from my PS5 to X.”
