While many fans know of Henry Cavill’s love for gaming, some may be unaware of how deep his love runs. Especially when it comes to the realm of all things fantasy, the Man of Steel actor’s affinity for this genre transcends the boundaries of his on-screen personas. From action-packed adventures to immersive virtual worlds, he embraces the gaming experience wholeheartedly. In particular, he also often shares his enthusiasm for PC games with fans through interviews. 

Out of those that he plays the most, here are the main ones the British actor brings up the most. 

Henry Cavill’s favorite games

In Cavill’s collection of PC games, one that he never fails to bring up while talking about gaming is the World of WarCraft. Not only did the 40-year-old confess to playing it for hours every day, but even almost lost his Man of Steel part of Superman because of it. He was busy playing the game when the call bearing the news of him having landed the role came through. 

Beyond action, his gaming interests also showcase a penchant for war strategy games like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It served as a retreat during times when multiplayer gaming with his brothers was not feasible. He has also often expressed a particular fondness for the Total War series, specifically the Warhammer editions. Drawing from their experiences in his youth, these fantasy-based digital games are certainly the top three among his four. 

The last and most obvious one is the game that helped him through one of his notable roles in Hollywood. 

Henry Cavill always felt The Witcher games should be turned into cinema

Among Netflix’s many fantasy series collections, The Witcher led by Cavill, has garnered much praise over the years. This had been possible due to the 40-year-old’s dedication to keeping the series as close to the source material as possible. However, his entry into the Witcherverse was not through the novels but through the Witcher series of games. Among these, his favorite is The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

When he heard that Netflix was turning the world of the Continent into a surreal series, he knew he was the perfect man for the job, having immersed himself so deeply in its world through the video game. So, his agents worked tirelessly to help him bag the role. Although the Enola Holmes actor has since been removed from his Geralt part, it certainly remains one of his most memorable.
