Gamers witnessed a spectacular show alongside a giant Travis Scott who performed hits like “Goosebumps,” “Sicko Mode,” “Highest In The Room” and “The Scotts”—a collaboration with Kid Cudi. They also enjoyed an interactive experience by walking through the concert and taking it all in from multiple vantage points. The visuals changed with every song, and at one point, gamers were submerged underwater and another, walking on it.
