If you’ve been watching the World Cup or soccer in general, you’re surely familiar with Norwegian striker Erling Haaland, and now he’s provided a deeper window into his life and specifically his gaming habits.
In a “day in the life” video on his YouTube channel (via PureXbox), Haaland began by saying he’s a big fan of Xbox, so much so that he even owns the Xbox minifridge and it’s not just for show. As you can see in the video, he has it stocked with MTN Dew and Coke. “One day, Xbox, I want them to sponsor me,” he said. Now might not be the time, though, as Xbox is facing its own string of major issues.
For what it’s worth, there was also a DualSense controller sitting on his gaming table, so he seemingly plays games on PlayStation as well.
Haaland also showed off his gaming space where he has LAN parties with friends. Additionally, he singled out 2009’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 as one of the top three games ever. He said he’s also a big fan of Minecraft and Grand Theft Auto, calling both of those his “desert island” games. Naturally, Haaland also talked about how excited he is for GTA 6. “I can’t wait for the new one,” he said.
In a fun moment from the video, Haaland showed that one of the games in his Xbox library is FC 24, which features… himself on the cover.
The next Norway World Cup game is a big one, as Haaland and his squad will face off with England on July 11 in a quarterfinal matchup that should be exciting.
