New Delhi – Renowned entrepreneur and innovator Elon Musk has set his sights on the world of video game streaming, a move aimed at challenging established platforms like Twitch. Musk, a prominent figure in the tech industry, is working on integrating a game livestreaming feature into ‘X,’ the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
In a notable demonstration of his commitment to this venture, Musk recently logged into ‘X’ under what appears to be his gaming pseudonym and initiated a captivating hour-long livestream, where he showcased his gaming skills by playing Diablo IV. This bold step underscores Musk’s vision of transforming ‘X’ into a multifaceted “everything app” capable of accommodating various functionalities.
During the initial moments of the livestream, Musk actively engaged with viewers, soliciting their feedback on audio quality and screen visibility to ensure a seamless experience. Interestingly, Musk revealed that only subscribers to Twitter Blue, a premium service, would have access to the chat feature during these livestreams. Additionally, viewers could utilize features such as forwarding the video and employing picture-in-picture mode while continuing to explore Twitter.
Musk shared a brief excerpt from the hour-long livestream, expressing his satisfaction with the successful test of ‘X’s’ video game streaming system. He further declared his intent to tackle a challenging Tier 100 Nightmare dungeon live on the platform in the near future.
This strategic move by Musk aligns with ‘X’s’ ongoing efforts to introduce new features, including live video broadcasting, while venturing into the realm of video game streaming. Given the substantial user base of ‘X,’ the platform’s entry into this competitive space is anticipated to garner significant attention and potentially reshape the landscape.
The outcome of this ambitious endeavor will be closely watched, as ‘X’ seeks to establish its presence and compete with well-established platforms like Twitch in the months ahead.
