The PS4 GayStation Edition goes up for auction to support asylum seekers, LGBTQ migrants

Just in time for Pride Week in Sweden, retailer Webhallen is putting a special “GayStation Edition” of the PS4 up for auction.

The event is in support of the Swedish Federation for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer Rights, with all proceeds in support of asylum seekers, undocumented migrants and new LGBTQ arrivals to the country.

“For many young people, the world of games will become a refuge to escape the taunting or worse of real life. On Webhallen, we are gamers in heart and mind, and are keen that as many as possible have the opportunity to feel welcome and enjoy the world’s largest and fastest growing interest: video games,” Webhallen said of the initiative.

What do you think of the GayStation? Personally, it’s a little too gay for this homosexual writer’s tastes.

You can head here to bid on the console. It’s currently at 18600 kr ($ 2,890 AUD) at the time of writing.

Thanks, ReptileScorpio!

About the author

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
