Elon Musk is no stranger to video games. The popular Tesla CEO not only made sure his cars could run video games over the years, he also made it known when playing a new title. Despite limiting himself mainly to the PC platform, Musk has now revealed the only game franchise he is willing to break 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 gaming time mostly on the PC, but the world-renowned business tycoon 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 has ever played on a platform outside the PC, clearly showing his loyalty to the hardware. Then again, when you are the richest man in the world and can afford PC equipment that others can only dream of, it is hard to blame you for not playing on consoles.
Halo only

What’s ironic about Musk’s statement is that most of the main Halo series is no longer console-based. Last year, developer 343 Industries brought in all Halo: The Master Chief Collection to the PC. In total, this collection contains six entries in the series, with Halo 5: Guardians the only notable absence. So, if Musk still wanted to play, but preferred to do so on the PC, he now has that option.
In the last month, however, it seems that Musk has been more consumed by Cyberpunk 2077. Despite clearly having some qualms about the game, including the large number of updates it required, Musk continued to praise its aesthetics and design.
It remains to be seen whether any future console releases will convince Musk to abandon the ship, but if he has not yet been conquered, it is likely that he never will. Then again, given how busy Musk is probably, I’m sure he’ll be happy whenever he can get into any game.
