The Best Video Games to Play While You’re Turnt
Share
Because some highs just hit harder with a controller in your hand.
Let’s be real — gaming while you're lit is a whole different kind of experience. The colors are brighter, the soundtracks slap harder, and your reflexes? Questionable but somehow legendary. Whether you're vibing solo or squad deep, here are the best video games to dive into when you're Turnt Up.
1. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
You haven’t really lived until you’ve tried to drift Rainbow Road mid-gummy. The chaos, the colors, the banana peels — it’s a hilarious, rage-inducing masterpiece that somehow feels spiritual after a good hit. Pro tip: loser takes the next edible.
2. Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Pure serotonin. Water your flowers, fish by the beach, and vibe out to the chillest soundtrack known to mankind. This one’s perfect for when you're baked and just want peace, good vibes, and Tom Nook lowkey judging your life choices.
3. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2
Skate. Chill. Fall. Repeat. This remake hits all the nostalgic feels with a killer soundtrack and gameplay that’s simple enough to play while you're floating. Bonus points for customizing your skater with the wildest fits imaginable.
4. Minecraft
Build a mansion. Get lost in a cave. Accidentally blow yourself up with TNT. Minecraft is an open-world trip where your high brain can do whatever it wants — no rules, no limits, just blocks and bliss.
5. Rocket League
It's soccer... but with cars that can fly. Sounds ridiculous? It is. And that’s why it’s amazing. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll be scoring goals, pulling aerials, and screaming “LET’S GOOOO” at 2AM like a legend.
6. Journey
This one’s a vibe. No combat, no talking, just stunning visuals and an emotional story that somehow hits harder when you're feeling lifted. It’s short, it’s beautiful, and it might just make you cry in the coolest way possible.
7. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
When you and your friends are Turnt Up and ready to throw hands (virtually), Smash Bros. is the move. Button-mash your way to victory or fall off the map laughing — either way, it’s pure chaotic energy.
