Tom Holland calls The Last of Us Part II his favorite game and admits he can't get a kill in Fortnite

Tom Holland, the actor behind Nathan Drake in the 2022 Uncharted film, has opened up about his gaming habits on the Happy Sad Confused podcast — and his taste runs deep into Naughty Dog territory. His all-time favorite game is The Last of Us Part II, which he called simply "so good."

Holland says he loves the game so much that he has deliberately avoided HBO's The Last of Us TV series. "I have not watched the series. Because I love the game so much. I don't play video games all that much. And the game is just so good," he said. He's not alone in that position — plenty of fans have expressed the same reluctance to let an adaptation interfere with how they feel about the source material. Season 2 of the HBO show adapted parts of The Last of Us Part II, and Season 3 is expected to continue that story, though the series has never aimed to be a one-to-one retelling. On the Fortnite front, Holland was asked whether he's ever dropped in as his own Uncharted or Spider-Man skin — and the answer is basically no, because he finds the game brutally hard. "I am so bad at Fortnite that I cannot play it. I don't think I've ever got a kill in Fortnite. When you play those people who start building stuff? I don't know what to do. I don't know how to do that," he said. Fortnite does have a Zero Build mode that removes construction entirely, though Holland didn't mention it.

The Last of Us Part II, developed by Naughty Dog and released in 2020, is widely regarded as one of the best games of that generation — so Holland's pick isn't exactly a controversial one. The Uncharted film he starred in alongside Mark Wahlberg grossed over $400 million worldwide, making it the eighth highest-grossing video game movie ever. It was positioned as the start of a franchise, but no sequel has been announced. Sony does have a packed slate of game adaptations in development, including Helldivers and Horizon Zero Dawn films due in 2027, plus projects based on Days Gone, Bloodborne, Ghost of Tsushima, and Gravity Rush.

Holland, 29, has two major films lined up for 2026 — Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, where he plays Telemachus, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which opened today, July 31. Whether any of those roles eventually get Fortnite skins he'll actually use remains to be seen.
