Just when it started to seem like the console wars were coming to an end with Xbox bringing its exclusive games to other platforms, Sydney Sweeney may have unintentionally started them again. For those pop culture enthusiasts who needed more reasons to fall in love with theAnyone But Youstar, she used to be a gamer back in the day, and her latest comments are a trip down memory lane.
In fact, there was one game that Sweeney was obsessed with, and it’s going to be a nostalgic punch for millennials.
Sydney Sweeney Reveals the Console She Used to Play on
During an interview with IGN,Madame Webstar Sweeney revealed that she used to play video games with her brother back in the day. Which naturally brings up two important questions: what game was it and which console did she play it on?

To answer the latter, Sweeney confirmed that her gaming sessions used to be “on the Xbox,” so for those gamers who still care about the console wars, that’s a definite point added to the Microsoft side of things.

Now that that’s out of the way, Sweeney also responded to the former question, revealing that she adoredSimpsons‘ take on theCrazy Taxiformula,Road Rage. This has been something that has probably kept fans awake at night ever since Sweeney mentioned her childhood favoriteSimpsonsgame during the marketing phase forMadame Web, but she never specified which one it was.
All we got was a basic idea as she pretended to operate a steering wheel, narrowing things down but leaving the particular title up for speculation.
Not Many People Were Expecting RR to Be the Answer
Considering Sweeney’s age, most of the speculations regarding her favorite game growing up revolved aroundHit & RunandRR, but the latter turned out to be a clearCrazy Taxiripoff, so the guesses started to lean more on the former’s side. Compared toRR, which resulted in SEGA suing the developers,Hit & Runwas much better received by critics and fans, which is why it would have made perfect sense for it to be Sweeney’s gaming haven.

Even today, gamers want a remastered version or a sequel to the 2003 action-adventure title, but sadly, the developers confirmed last year that although another installment was in the works, it was shelved due to “bizarre” decisions.
For now,SweeneyandSimpsonsfans can rest assured knowing that the title she played growing up wasRoad Rage, and she liked to pick Homer while driving through the in-game city.

Ever since Osama was gifted the glorious PS2 more than two decades back, video games have formed a major part of his life, ranging from spending hours playing through every single Dragon Ball game he could find to witnessing the gaming industry evolve into something extraordinary in modern times. Building his collection of PlayStation consoles throughout the years all the way up until PS5, he prefers single-player experiences like The Last of Us and Persona, while also letting off steam on a daily basis with casual EA Sports FC matches. But the current rise in online multiplayer shooters will never really appeal to his old-school self.
