EA Sports is also launching the “creator challenge” in Live 19, which is described as a chance to “battle someone famous” like a celebrity, musician or streamer for the chance to win limited-edition content. That’s where Quavo comes in, as the character will challenge players to a game and will be available in-game if that player wins the challenge. The other members of the Gang Gang will have their own challenges in the near future, meaning players can get the entire Migos rap trio on their own roster.
