WWE superstar Randy Orton says he’s put 600 hours into Elden Ring
WWE superstar Randy Orton says he’s played Elden Ring for around 600 hours.
In an interview with current Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes as part of his What Do You Wanna Talk About series of videos, the wrestler said he had an obsession with the game.
