Samara Weaving may be best known for her work in horror movies, but the Australian actress has revealed that she is also a passionate gamer. Her favorite PS5 video game franchises include some of the industry’s biggest names, ranging from Rockstar’s open-world westerns to Warner Bros. Games’ brutal fighting series.
Weaving’s gaming picks include Red Dead Redemption, Assassin’s Creed, Hogwarts Legacy, and Mortal Kombat. Each franchise offers a very different experience, giving fans an interesting look at the games that have caught the actress’ attention.
It’s a fitting mix for an actress who’s built her career on genre-bending roles — open-world outlaw sagas, stealth-and-history epics, wizarding-world exploration, and no-holds-barred fighting brutality all sit comfortably alongside her filmography of horror-comedy and gritty thrillers.
Red Dead Redemption, for example, is known for its detailed open worlds, cinematic storytelling, and characters, while Assassin’s Creed combines historical settings with stealth, exploration, and action. Hogwarts Legacy allows players to explore the Wizarding World through an original story, while Mortal Kombat is built around fast-paced fighting, iconic characters, and its famously over-the-top finishing moves.
Despite a busy filming schedule, the actress revealed that she carries her PlayStation 5 with her on location shoots, keeping up with her favorite franchises wherever work takes her.
