Elon Musk is no stranger to video games. Over the years, the popular CEO of Tesla has not only made sure that his cars can play video games, but he has also always made it known when he plays a new title himself. Despite sticking mainly with the computer platform, Musk has now revealed the one game franchise that he is willing to break the ranks to play on consoles.
In a new interaction on Twitter, Musk was asked what his favorite console game is. In the past, Musk has made it clear that he spends his playing time primarily on PC, but the world-renowned business magnate has revealed that the Halo series is the only franchise he has played on consoles. Musk specifically noted that Halo was the ‘only’ game he ever played on a platform outside the PC, which was clearly true to the hardware. If you are then the richest man in the world and can afford a computer installation that others can only dream of, it is hard to blame him for not playing on consoles.

What’s ironic about Musk’s statement is that most of the Halo series is no longer connected to consoles. In the past year, developer 343 Industries has acquired the entire Halo: The Master Chief Collection to computer. In total, this collection contains six entries in the series, with Halo 5: Guardians being the only notable absence. So if Musk still wanted to play the games but preferred it on a computer, he now has the option.
In the past month, however, Musk seems to be consuming more Cyberpunk 2077. Despite being clearly a bit concerned about the game, including the sheer amount of updates it requires, Musk still praised its aesthetic and design.
It remains to be seen whether any future release on consoles will convince Musk to jump off the ship, but if he has not won at this stage, he probably never will. Again, given how busy Musk probably is, I’m sure he’s happy when he can get into a playtime at all.
