Earlier this year, KFC, the fast-food restaurant chain with outlets across the globe teased a console back in June with a promise that it will be announced on November 12, but that didn’t happen. Today, the KFConsole is official and it is a real gaming console gaming PC.
The KFConsole is a joint product between the fast-food chain and Cooler Master, the Taiwanese computer hardware manufacturer. The console which is shaped like a chicken bucket has a black finish and an ejectable tray for your chicken. Below the tray is a power button that glows red and at the bottom is a ring that also glows red.
The KFConsole has been designed to redirect heat from the system to cool your chicken in the patented Chicken Chamber.

There is an Intel NUC 9 inside the console that is housed inside a custom Cooler Master NC100 chassis. The KFConsole also has an unnamed ASUS mini-GPU that sits in a hot-swappable slot, thus ensuring that your console remains powerful for several years. For storage, you get two Seagate BarraCuda 1TB SSDs.
While KFC has not revealed a lot of key specs such as the RAM, specific GPU, and ports, the official website for the KFConsole says it is VR ready, has Ray Tracing, supports 240fps for all games, and 240Hz output on 4K monitors and 4K TVs.
There is also no news of the price and the release date for the KFConsole but seeing that the year is almost over, it most likely will not be available for purchase until next year.
What do you think of the KFConsole? The design is pretty unique as it stands out from the refrigerator-like Xbox Series X and the humongous white PlayStation 5.
