Randy Orton recently appeared on an episode of Impaulsive, the podcast hosted by WWE United States Champion Logan Paul, where he revealed what video games he has been playing, which includeStarfield. Orton returned at WWE Survivor Series to help Team Cody Rhodes clinch their victory over The Judgment Day, immediately making waves in the locker room and industry. Orton’s return follows a back injury in 2022, and while training to make it back into the ring, there were plenty of rumors suggestingOrton may not have been able to wrestle ever again.
Luckily for fans, this proved not to be the case, and he’s signed with SmackDown to get his payback on The Bloodline. Beyond training to get back into the ring though, it seems Orton has been keeping up with video game releases, confirming that he’s been playingCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3andStarfield.
Orton revealed that he’s been playingModern Warfare 3since it dropped, specifically citing the zombies game mode. While reviews forModern Warfare 3largely trend negatively, especially for its campaign, it does seem that the multiplayer and zombies game mode has clicked with quite a few fans. Orton also revealed that he’s been playing the latest Bethesda RPG,Starfield. While some key details are missing, like which factions he’s completed or what he enjoys doing in the game, Orton did confirm he’s about “50 hours deep” into the game. In other words, he’s likely completed a significant portion ofStarfield’s main questand the like, assuming he hasn’t just spent all that time exploring the stars.The relevant portion is at the 43:10 timemark below.
While some fans may be surprised to hear about Orton playing video games, others will know that Orton has always been a gamer at heart too. In 2022,Orton revealed that not only had he been playing FromSoftware Soulslike gameElden Ring, but that he was an incredibly impressive level 527 too. It was later revealed that Orton paid some folks $1,000 to get him to level 100 early, as Orton thought it was “f*cking hard,” but that he loved the game despite this. It’s unclear if the rest was Orton hitting one of Elden Ring’s many farming spots and natural gameplay, or if he received further assistance afterward.
Notably, the world of wrestling and video games are intertwined more than some may think. Not only does AEW constantly reference video games during its shows, but many wrestlers have their favorite video games. It’s not just Randy Orton. For example, among other WWE Superstars,Cody Rhodes recently listed his top five favorite video games of all timeon UpUpDownDown, which includeThe Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Metal Gear Solid, Halo: Combat Evolved, Super Mario World, andMega Man X.
