It may be surprising to some when Vin Diesel appeared in the trailer for Ark 2 at The Game Awards 2020, but the actor has worked in video games for some time. Those past games, however, are a mixed bag. Diesel’s first foray into the gaming industry began with the founding of Tigon Studios in 2002. Since then, Tigon worked on various games, most of which featured the Fast & Furious actor in the leading role. While technically still active, the studio has been quiet since 2013, with its last game, Barca B.C., in development limbo since 2006.
Most of the studio's released games were movie tie-ins that lessened the maneuverability for the studio to play with the IP to a degree. As a result, while each game was interactive and immersive, they were widely panned. However, like Vin Diesel’s pop star debut single, «Feel Like I Do,» the actor gives his full attention to whatever project he is working on, innovating when he can. While Diesel and video games are not exactly synonymous, his passion is mirrored with the games he works on.

Here is every game Vin Diesel has starred in, and while some of those deserve to be forgotten, there are some underrated games that deserve a sequel or, at the very least, a remake.
