This is not just a prediction from him as well. Elden Ring, as a game, has one of the highest ratings for any video game. And a comment on it being the probable game of the year from Elon Musk himself really tells a lot about its popularity. Notably, Horizon Forbidden West is one of the contenders for the game of the year award this year as well.

Elon had played one of the earliest consoles in history

During the same podcast, Musk was asked about his experience with video games as a child. To which he replied, “I was alive before there was even ‘pong’. I had a console before Atari (the Magnavox Odyssey) the original Atari. I had only four games. You can’t even add new games. You can like play only four games.”

The Magnavox Odyssey was the very first video game console ever made. Although it was not that popular in 1972, it still managed to sell 300,000 units by 1975 when its production was shut down. One of the games that were playable on that console was a tennis-inspired game.

So, when in the same year Atari was launched, one of the earliest commercially successful arcade game, Pong was released. Which was also a tennis-inspired game.
