McDonald’s new gaming chair sounds pretty silly – who needs a fries holder on their PC?

McDonald’s has introduced a new gaming chair. This is a rather strange product and is also only available in limited quantities. In this article, MeinMMO will show you what the chair should offer.

There are now plenty of side products for gaming. In addition to the mouse and keyboard, you can buy chairs, cushions and other equipment.

Now McDonald’s, the well-known fast-food restaurant operator and franchisor, has unveiled a new chair on Facebook (via facebook.com). The chair is aimed at gamers and, in addition to comfort, should also offer practical features for your meals.

New gaming chair from McDonald’s wants to convince you with dining options

The chair with the name “McDonald’s McCrispy Ultimate Gaming Chair” is yellow and black and thus bears the typical McDonald’s design. It is not known who the franchise giant collaborated with for the chair. In addition to the well-known structure that you already know from gaming chairs, there are a few more special features:

• The chair features a french fries holder and a sandwich warmer.
• Additionally, there are slots for dips like ketchup or mayo.

Whether gamers really need something like this on the PC is another question. Because hot fat is only compatible with a mouse and keyboard to a limited extent. And MeinMMO author Cortyn alone should make you angry if you consider the possibility of using your mouse, keyboard or controller with greasy fingers:

There are enough options if you want to eat on the PC that are not greasy or crumbly. MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus tried out 7 gaming snacks for you that taste good but don’t mess up the controller.

Can you buy this chair? No, officially there should only be one chair in a raffle. Only people from England, Wales and Scotland can take part. Two runners-up receive McCrispy neon lights (via mcdonalds.com).

The chair is not officially available in stores, so there is no price for the model. However, there are rumors that McDonald’s is said to have given out a few chairs to Twitch streamers.

McDonald’s keeps trying gaming

What else does McDonald’s do? The gaming chair is not the first idea to deal with gaming. In Australia, for example, there was a cooperation with Overwatch 2, where a code for special skins is said to have been included in certain menus.

Also, there are regular extensive collaborations between Pokémon and McDonalds, and there are more trading cards in Happy Meals, and a few years ago, McDonald’s locations turned into Pokestops.

Another McDonald’s product recently received a lot of attention. A customer had offered a simple Chicken McNugget for sale online and received nearly $40,000 for it. Because the piece of meat looks like a male from Among Us.
