When it comes to gaming, your Internet service needs to deliver on speed and reliability and cut down on the lag. That’s why the Xfinity 10G Network is the Internet provider of choice for gamers who are serious about what they do – and people are starting to notice. In fact, gaming consoles are among the fastest-growing Internet-connected devices on our network, growing to more than 37 million in 2022.

The Tempest Awards – the world’s only recognition program for excellence in the business of esports and gaming – named Xfinity the 2023 Brand of the Year. Xfinity was also nominated for Best Endemic Brand for launching the new Xfinity 10G Network during this year’s Super Bowl. Xfinity has a long history of placing gaming at the center of what we do. We have partnered with gaming pioneers like Twitch, FaZe Clan, IGN and Activision’s Call of Duty to help us promote the gaming superiority of the Xfinity 10G Internet – the broadband network that gets faster, stronger, and more reliable every day.
Committed to Gaming
Xfinity’s commitment to gaming goes beyond creating a fast, reliable network. “Team Xfinity”, a collection of content creators and streamers, helps Xfinity connect to their digital-first communities, like Fortnite World Cup Champion Bugha, MsAshRocks, and members from FaZe Clan, including Swagg/Nuke Squad, Faxuty, and H1ghSky1.
Xfinity has also partnered with FaZe Clan to host The Gig, a gaming and music experience in Boston and Atlanta, showcasing a top-of-the-line gaming lounge for attendees. Gamers had the chance to play alongside FaZe Clan’s Nate Hill, Swagg, and others, and see musical acts like Trippie Redd, Lil Yachty, and Ken Carson. As part of the Rig Raiders content series, which highlights & gives back to under-represented communities, Xfinity & FaZe also provided $10K to local foundations in Atlanta, Portland, and Houston.
Our collaboration with Activision also gives Xfinity Rewards Members free early access to the Call of Duty Beta. For the past three years, this reward has been one of the most popular among our members.
A Network Built for Gamers
Comcast has long been an industry leader in developing the foundational technologies that allow for faster speeds, greater reliability, and lower latency across our network. Earlier this year, Comcast introduced the new Xfinity 10G Network – the next generation of Internet for the next generation of gamers.
Our 10G network technology delivers ultra reliability, low lag, and multi-gig speeds to ensure customers can quickly download and compete in the biggest games of the year. And with Xfinity’s WiFi 6E-enabled gateways, gamers can play online with minimal lag, even when other people in the home may be streaming sports, 4K movies, or video-chatting with friends.
