EE Ultimate Gamer will feature famous faces going head to head across three separate games, including comedian Munya Chawawa, EXCEL’s professional Fortnite player Jaden ‘Wolfiez’ Ashman and TikToker Ollie Ball and Royal Raven’s content creator Angelika ‘ImAngelikaa’ Slon. Each competitor will play five rounds of Halo Infinite, FIFA, and Forza on EE’s Full Fibre broadband, and the player with the highest total of kills, goals and race position finishes across all three titles will be crowned EE’s Ultimate Gamer.
