The streamer divulged the amount, revealing that he was offered approximately $120,000 per hour to promote and play the mobile game.

At the eight-hour mark of the livestream, the 26-year-old explained why he was required to buy a new iPhone: "I bought a phone, an iPhone, because I needed one for a sponsorship. On a phone device. It wasn't sponsored for Apple, it was a phone game sponsorship. So, I bought an iPhone, so that I could play in the computer, so that I could record it, or play it. I ended up not doing it." xQc attempted to recall the game's title and later claimed that the sponsorship was for Raid: Shadow Legends: "I think it was for like, Raid: Shadow Legends, or like, something like that. I ended up not doing it, though. The game is good, I mean." Timestamp: 08:13:41 The French-Canadian star commented that "everyone knows the rates," and revealed how much he was paid to host the sponsored stream: "It's a lot. Everybody knows the rates though. It's like... mobile sponsorships, they're like $120,000 an hour, or something like that. Sometimes, I mean, I'm not kidding. Phone games are way, way, way more budget." After a brief pause, xQc claimed that miHoYo's popular gacha game Genshin Impact provided a "fat bag" for streamers promoting the open-world mobile title: "I'm not even going to leak, everybody knows this. That's how much it was for f***ing Total Staircase. You watch streamers that play Genshin (Impact). When Genshin did sponsorships, they offered a f***ing, a fat bag. I don't think they still do it. They offer a massive juicer." Felix praised the Call of Duty partnership and stated that the developers set fewer constraints on what streamers can and cannot do: "CoD Partner? Same thing. But game is actually good, though. So I don't give a f**k. I didn't really care about doing the CoD one because the game is good, and they're pretty understanding, and they don't give a f**k about swearing, or whatever. They just kind of, no links, no spam, no f***ing, no shoving anything in everybody's throats. You're just playing the game." The discussion on the subject concluded when xQc remarked: "Why do I care if I want to play CoD, I get a sponsorship to play the game. Okay, I play the game then."
