Steven Spielberg is known for his legendary movies, but he also has a significant history with the gaming industry. Early LucasArts employees recall him calling for help when stuck on their classic adventure games, which inspired him to create the Medal of Honor series. He also worked on EA’s Boom Blox and a cancelled title codenamed LMNO.
Spielberg’s passion for gaming has been passed down to his son Max, who has credits in Assassin’s Creed: Unity and is the co-founder of Fuzzybot. In an interview with Minnmax, Max shares that his father loves gaming and plays mostly on PC, using keyboard and mouse controls. The younger Spielberg reveals that his dad recommends Call of Duty titles over others, often joking about it being “one of us.” When asked to show his father a game, Max recalls the reaction when he showed him Lynked: Banner of the Spark, which uses controller-based gameplay.
The interview also touches on Spielberg’s gaming preferences, including mobile games like Golf Clash. While no details are shared about his home PC rig, it’s clear that Spielberg has high standards for his gaming setup, as long as it supports mouse and keyboard controls.
As a prominent figure in the gaming world, Spielberg’s involvement with his son’s upcoming title is notable, demonstrating the industry’s influence on both creators and consumers.
