10 Celebrities Who Had Their Own Video Games You Might Not Know

Games are taking a big part in the Entertainment industry, even though they were born much later than other types such as cinematic works, music, theatres, or sports. Games are various in type and content. There are video games, MOBA games, card games, board games, etc. One branch of video games is based on famous people, including Hollywood actors, sports stars, legendary bands, singers, and even political people or Youtuber, Tiktoker.
