To kick off the new year, Kanye West posted an Instagram story on Jan. 1, informing his fans of his current gaming obsession. \u201cLast of us 2 on Survivor + mode got me spending all day on one board,\u201d the American rapper wrote. \u201cBy faaaaaaarrrr the best game ever made so far.\u201d Not only does the rapper enjoy The Last of Us Part II, he says he's playing on the game's most challenging difficulty mode, Survivor. It would seem Kanye has a decent taste in games\u2014if popular sentiment is anything to go off, that is. The Last of Us Part II released in 2020 as a follow-up to the first game in the series from 2013 and would go on to win that year\u2019s The Game of the Year award. Winning the 2020 The Game Awards was no small feat either; the action-adventure game was pitted against the likes of Hades, Animal Crossing, Final Fantasy VII Remake, Ghost of Tsushima, and Doom Eternal. The Naughty Dog title has remained in Metacritic\u2019s top 10 highest-rated games on PlayStation 4 with a critic score of 93 and is scheduled to release on April 3 for PC. The series was so well-received that it even landed its own HBO series starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey. The Last of Us show debuted as the second-largest HBO premiere after House of the Dragon with 4.7 million viewers tuning in to see the adaptation, according to Deadline. \u00a0A part two is currently in the works, and showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann have already hinted that the second have could split into three separate seasons. And luckily for fans of the show, its slated to release at some point in early 2025\u2014although no official release date has been confirmed. Kanye isn\u2019t the only celebrity to have picked up a controller and fallen in love with gaming. Others, like Canadian actor Simu Liu, American rapper Soulja Boy, and even Kanye's former sister-in-law and famed reality TV star Kourtney Kardashian are among the list of big names who have confessed their appreciation for Riot Games\u2019 tactical shooter, VALORANT. Now if you ever wonder why your new pair of Yeezys are taking so long to ship, you have at least one suspect to blame.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Kanye-West-TLOU2.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1488077"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1723"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1488077"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1488077\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1488236,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1488077\/revisions\/1488236"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1488083"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1488077"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1488077"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1488077"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1488077"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1488077"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1488077"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1488077"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
