Elon Musk is no stranger to video games. The popular CEO of Tesla has not only made sure that his cars can play video games over the years, but he has also always made it known when he plays a new title himself. While primarily adhering to the PC platform, Musk has revealed the only gaming franchise that is willing to break ranks to play on consoles.
In a new interaction on Twitter, Musk was asked what his favorite console game was. In the past, Musk made it clear that he mostly spends his playing time on PC, but the world-famous business mogul revealed that the Halo series is the only franchise he has played on consoles. Musk specifically noted that Halo was the only “game” he had ever played on a platform outside of the PC, clearly showing his loyalty to the hardware. Again, when you’re the richest man in the world and you can afford a PC platform that others can only dream of, it’s hard to blame him for not playing on consoles.
Just Halo

What’s ironic about Musk’s statement is that most of Halo’s main series are no longer tied to consoles. Over the past year, the developer 343 Industries has contributed all of Halo: The Master Chief Collection a PC. In total, this collection contains six entries from the series, with Halo 5: Guardians being the only notable absence. So if Musk wanted to keep playing games, but preferred to do it on PC, he now has that option.
However, over the last month it seems that Musk has been more consumed by Cyberpunk 2077. Despite clearly having some doubts with the game, including the large number of updates it has required, Musk has continued to praise its aesthetics and design.
It remains to be seen if any future version of the consoles will convince Musk to jump off the ship, but if he hasn’t won at the moment, he probably never will. Again, given how busy Musk is, I’m sure he’s happy as long as he can get any moment of play.
