Manchester City striker Erling Haaland’s favorite video games have become the latest detail to catch fans’ attention, because apparently scoring constantly is not enough content for one person. In a YouTube video uploaded on April 21, the Norwegian forward gave a look at his daily routine, including training, food, and the games he plays when football briefly stops being the main event.
The timing makes the interest easy to understand. Haaland has been getting even more attention during Norway’s historic World Cup run, with supporters tracking both his performances on the pitch and his generally low-drama personality away from it. He has also been leaning into the social media attention, including responding to a viral post comparing him to Dragon Ball Z character Majin Buu.
What games did Erling Haaland name?
In the video, Haaland was asked to list his favorite titles. He kept it simple, naming a mix of action games, shooters, sandbox games, and football titles.
“Random order, Assassin’s Creed, Call of Duty, Modern Warfare, Warfare, Minecraft, FIFA,” he said.
That list is not exactly obscure, but it does make sense for someone who seems to prefer games that can be played casually with friends or for long stretches without needing a committee meeting first.
