AceShowbiz - Kanye West has a keen interest in video games, particularly those rich in narrative. His wife, Bianca Censori, recently disclosed in an interview that he enjoys playing “plot-heavy” games like The Last Of Us and the Mafia series on PlayStation.

In a conversation with Variety, Censori shared insights about their gaming habits. While she immerses herself in a cryptography puzzle application, stating, “I’ll do the same thing over and over again,” Kanye West prefers engaging with captivating storylines that these games offer. The couple often spends their downtime watching films together, including the documentary about Die Antwoord, various horror films by Robert Eggers, and the tongue-in-cheek thriller M3GAN, which they affectionately refer to as a “Denny’s movie” due to its so-bad-it’s-good quality.

Earlier in 2025, Kanye West took to social media to express his admiration for The Last Of Us Part 2, dubbing it “the best game ever made so far.” His enthusiasm for this title aligns with his appreciation for well-crafted narratives in gaming.

The rapper's fascination with gaming dates back several years. In 2016, he had ambitions to name his album following The Life Of Pablo after the retro 16-bit console, TurboGrafx-16. Although this project never came to fruition, it reflects his deep connection to gaming culture. He ultimately released the album titled Ye in 2018.

Additionally, Kanye West once revealed plans to develop his own video game, sharing a teaser for Only One during E3 2016. The concept involved guiding his late mother, Donda, to heaven, accompanied by original music from the artist himself. Reports indicated that he even sought collaboration with gaming icon Shigeru Miyamoto of Nintendo fame. Unfortunately, this project never saw the light of day.

In a unique twist, a fan created an unofficial sci-fi role-playing game titled Kanye West 3030 in 2013. In this imaginative game, players accompany Kanye West as he journeys to the future in an attempt to liberate the United States from the oppressive rule of rapper Lil B.

Looking ahead, Kanye West is set to release his upcoming studio album titled Bully on March 20. Recently, he clarified that his public apology for previous anti-Semitic remarks was not targeted towards promoting his upcoming album or revitalizing his career.

In other news, Kanye West has announced a one-off headline concert at the GelreDome in Arnhem on June 6, a venue that can accommodate 41,000 fans. This performance will mark his first European gig in over a decade, with another concert scheduled in Italy on July 18.

In gaming news, while fans await the release of Resident Evil Requiem, The Weeknd was invited by developers to preview the horror game ahead of its official launch.
