Kanye West may be a lot of things, but at least he has damn good video game taste. The Gold Digger singer posted a picture of his The Last of Us 2 progress on Instagram, confirming he’s playing the Naughty Dog sequel on its most difficult Survivor + setting. He’s probably going to need to get Stronger to reach the end, eh?
“By far the best game made so far,” he captioned. “This is not a sponsored post.”
West joins a slew of other celebrities who’ve Touched the Sky and declared their appreciation for the survival horror game, including Zendaya and The Weeknd.
A second season of HBO Max’s television adaptation of the game is due out in Spring 2025, with series creator Naughty Dog turning its attention to a new title, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.
While we don’t think The Last of Us 2 is the best game ever made like Ye, it’s certainly up there. We’re glad to see Kanye appreciating more than its story, too: this series often gets unfairly labelled as an interactive movie due to its story telling chops, but its encounter design and core moment-to-moment action is impeccable.

The most positive thing I've heard coming from Kanye in a long time. If he needs a couple of years chilling and playing games to come back down to Earth, I hope he takes it.
Apparently, he has not heard about Neil yet.
Well we all know Kanye is full of terrible opinions
Because folk really care what he has to say 😒🙂
Imma let you finish, but...
Pushsquare casually poking the hornet's nest again 😂
To be fair it’s a bloody good game lol
Kanye? Ahh okay 🤣🤣🤣 whatever
Kanye needs to play more than 3 games then.
Bit late with the celebrity endorsement that ship has sold. For whatever reason I can’t imagine a multi--bazillion selling pop star discovering a discreet little Indie title…
Well, he's undeniably an absolute *****. But at least he has good taste in games and, importantly, is clearly not a chud. I can respect that.
I used to think it was hands down the best game ever made until I bought Balatro a few days ago. Now I’m not so sure…
Maybe Kanye hasn’t played it yet
Kanye West has obviously never been wrong about anything, this is significant.
I can't believe Kanye has only just signed up for a PSN account. That's a very late registration
@dschons And what did Neil do...
Does this post have a positive or negative impact on the game‘s reputation?
@TheArt Nothing.
This is must be another PR stunt from ND, just like the Eve artworks and TloU as christmas game /s
Sarcasm aside, i'm surprised Kanye plays video games. I mean, all these years with all his controversy, i thought the guy is too busy for video games heh.
MY GOAT MAY NOT BE WASHED LETS GOOOOOOOO
Kanye West slightly redeeming himself here
Aaah Kanye,lol.Everybody knows that the alltime GOAT is Risk Of Rain 2.
Well he's obviously never played 'Return of the Obra Dinn'.
Just wait till he plays his second video game. There's a whole world of opportunity out there.
Kanye has great taste in art. He's absolutely right I think . Played thousands of games and I still think Part 2 is the best
Why is there an article about that piece of human *****? Seriously do you not remember or something? This is NintendoLife bad for a “Random” article…
Last of us part 1 is a way better game.and kanye is terrible.nas the g.o.a.t. 🐐 👑.word up son
Please, I don't need yet another reason to sh*t on TLoU again.
Possibly one of the only things I've heard him say which is sane...
Should we be expecting articles about Osama Bin Laden’s gaming and anime tastes?
@TheArt I'm going to take a guess and say I think he means Joel 😅.
@PSDeckSwitchOwner Amen.
@nessisonett Osama was a fan of Final Fantasy VII and Resident Evil 2. I think they found those in his hideout. It was all over the news.
TLOU2, after playing the first game over 15 times, and it being my all time favorite, I can say it's absolutely one of the worst sequels and just outright games ever.
@Herculean Yeah, the guy “may be a lot of things, but at least he has damn good video game taste”
Thats the second rapper I’ve seen be on here and Pure. Snoop Dog is a huge Xbox fan and was showing his yearly play time. I think Snoop was top 2%. Good to see everyone enjoys gaming. It’s a medium in which i think speaks to everyone in some way. Older folks playing candy crush on their phones makes me happy.
I understand that when Kanye got to the point where Ellie and Dina go into the abandoned Synagogue, he threw his controller down and had someone else play that scene for him.
I, too, would like to make a passive aggressive post about this article. Rawr
@takasugi77 lol
Soooo.... Black neonazi has good gaming tastes? Meh, still hate him.
To be fair, both games in the series are superb. But, perhaps if he had a go at Elden Ring or Indy, he would change his mind.
@takasugi77 lmao probably
Nut job says a bad videogame is good, I'm not sure if I'm shocked or not.
I miss the old Kanye, straight from the 'Go Kanye
so if he played on easy mode this wouldn't be news lol
Why should we care about what some random "celebrity" thinks about a game?
@ThroughTheIris56 But its not a bad not by along shot.
@Flaming_Kaiser Aspects like graphics and gameplay are good, but the story was poor, which is important in a game that's sold on it's story. Overall, it's just very disappointing.
