Legendary movie director Steven Spielberg is a huge fan of theCall of Dutyseries, according to his son, Max Spielberg. A recent interviewconfirmed that the director ofSaving Private Ryan"loves" theCall of Dutygames, with PC being his platform of choice.
Call of Dutyis one of gaming’s juggernauts. The series last missed an annual release back in 2004, which is a staggering amount of consistency considering the high level of quality across the board. Players might debate thebestCall of Dutygamesforever, but broadly, the series has set a high bar that it continues to match every year thanks to its rotating developers of Infinity Ward, Treyarch, and Sledgehammer Games. Each year, the annualCall of Dutygame continues to sell like hotcakes, with theBlack OpsandModern Warfareseries' remaining the franchise’s main attractions.
In an interview with MinnMax, Steven Spielberg’s son, Max Spielberg, confirmed that the legendary director is a huge gamer, saying, “He plays games, he’s a big PC gamer… 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.'” Spielberg also claimed that “It’s always a Call of Duty. He loves Call of Duty; he enjoys the campaign… I’m always trying to get him to play Uncharted, y’know, ‘it’s Indiana Jones, you’d appreciate this’, and he’s always ‘I can’t do controllers, I only do keyboard and mouse.'” It’s cool knowing that Hollywood’s greatest can appreciate some of thebest FPS gameswhen he sees them.
Steven Spielberg is a PC Gamer and Call of Duty Player
Spielberg’s interest in theCall of Dutyfranchise, and gaming in general, makes a ton of sense. After directingSaving Private Ryanback in 1998,Spielberg went on to create theMedal of Honorseriesalongside developer DreamWorks Interactive and publisher EA. For a short period in the early-to-mid 2000s,Medal of HonorandCall of Dutywent head to head, with the latter eventually winning out. That’s not to mentionReady Player One, either. Spielberg’s 2018 film was almost a love letter to the video game medium, adapting Ernest Cline’s novel of the same name.
It’s always a Call of Duty. He loves Call of Duty; he enjoys the campaign.
It isn’t long now until the 2024Call of Dutytitle,Black Ops 6, is finally released. Treyarch is back in the driving seat, with its last game in the series being 2020’sCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. Just recently,Black Ops 6confirmed some multiplayer changes based on Beta feedback, with weapon damage and spawn logic being changed for the upcoming release. Let’s hopeCall of Duty: Black Ops 6has a cinematic campaign that lives up to its predecessors; Steven Spielberg is counting on it.
