PC Gamer Steven Spielberg Doesn’t Like Using A Controller



In the ’70s and ’80s, Steven Spielberg ushered in a new age of blockbuster movies with Jaws, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and more. But according to his son, Max Spielberg, the famous director is still a gamer at heart who just can’t give up playing games on his computer.

Max Spielberg–who is the creative director and co-founder of the game development studio FuzzyBot–told MinnMax that it was his father who got him into gaming. And the elder Spielberg is particularly into shooters.

“He loves gaming, he’s the one that got me into it,” said Max Spielberg. “He plays games. He’s a big PC gamer and so that’s kind of our bonding point as well. He’s like, ‘Hey what’s good, what new Call of Duty should I be playing, send me a list of the top five shooters, I’ll get ’em downloaded and we can play ’em together when you come over to the house.'”

It’s kind of charming that Spielberg would rather wait to play the games locally alongside his son rather than playing online. But Max Spielberg also revealed that he’s been unable to get his dad to try any console games because he’s too attached to playing with a keyboard and mouse.

“He’s big into story games and I’m always trying to get him to play Uncharted,” noted Max Spielberg. “You know, it’s Indiana Jones, you’d appreciate this,’ and he’s always ‘I can’t do controllers; I only do keyboard and mouse.'”

Perhaps Bethesda’s upcoming game, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, can give Spielberg a chance to play as the character he co-created with George Lucas. That game will be available on PC and Xbox Series X|S on December 9 before coming to PlayStation 5 next year.
