The Big Show Reveals Massive Baldur’s Gate 3 Playtime Hours
AEW wrestler Paul Wight—more widely recognized by his WWE ring name, The Big Show—recently let slip just how much time he’s sunk into Baldur’s Gate 3. The headline number is big, even if it’s not necessarily the biggest on the planet. (If you’ve got a ridiculous Baldur’s Gate 3 hour count too, you already know where to share it.)
If you’re new to the idea that The Big Show is also a “big gamer,” it’s worth noting that he previously played a lot of Bungie’s Destiny 2. A clip of his stream conversation has since gone viral, featuring Canadian-American Twitch streamer and creator Agent 00—online as @callmeagentzero. In that back-and-forth, The Big Show talks about his playtime in Baldur’s Gate 3 and Cyberpunk 2077, as well as what he’s been getting into across both worlds.
All of this chatter lands in a moment when long-running Destiny conversations are already heating up, with recent updates about “Destiny 3” and reports of layoffs at Bungie. In response, some fans have taken their feelings directly to Sony, petitioning for approval of the next Destiny entry.
The Big Show Has 150 Hours in 2 Games
In the video—recorded for AEW’s Beach Break on Twitch—The Big Show claims he has about 90 days’ worth of playtime in Baldur’s Gate 3, along with around 60 days in Cyberpunk 2077. If you translate those days into hours, that lands at roughly 2,160 hours for Baldur’s Gate 3 and about 1,440 hours for Cyberpunk 2077.
The reactions have been a mix of disbelief and admiration. Agent 00 and other viewers have praised Big Show’s “ball knowledge,” pointing to how deeply he’s invested in both titles. He does briefly mention some machine guns in Cyberpunk 2077, but beyond that, the clip mostly leaves people wanting details. Viewers are asking the obvious follow-ups: what endings does he like most in Baldur’s Gate 3 and Cyberpunk 2077? Does he have a preferred romance route? What does his usual playstyle look like? And, since he’s been asked before, what would his top ten games of all time actually be?
The clip also tangles in other “vibe check” moments, including instructions to identify cover art while scraping off as little foil as possible, and later prompts to identify silhouettes before time runs out. Those segments don’t change the main point—his time investment in these games is real—but they add to why the clip spread so quickly.
Importantly, The Big Show has talked about his favorite games at least once before. Ahead of WWE 2K17’s release, creator ToimmyT999 asked him for his top three games of all time. For his #1 pick, he named God of War and said it includes “all the God of War games,” calling it his first major addiction. He also said he’s played and beaten every game released up to that point at “Titan Level.” That naturally raises questions about how he feels about the newer God of War entries, and what he thinks about the upcoming God of War Laufey.
His #2 choice is the Ace Combat series, though he doesn’t single out one specific title and instead keeps it franchise-wide. His #3 game is Destiny, which he described as a “never-ending cycle of hell”—a line that definitely sounds like something you’d expect from someone who’s been in the Destiny trenches for a long time.
Putting it all together, The Big Show is already known for his size and in-ring skill across both WWE and AEW, but if this is the “everything is a competition” framing, then his hours in Baldur’s Gate 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 put him in a different category than most players. It’d be fascinating to see whether his top three list has shifted since those earlier comments, and to hear more of his takes on modern games. And honestly, the idea of him showing up as a cameo in God of War Laufey—as a “God of War” type—feels like the kind of crossover that would fit the theme of his gamer persona.
For now, one thing is clear: Wight has plenty of “ball knowledge,” and the viral clip has given players an excuse to compare hour counts, finishing choices, and favorite builds—especially in two RPGs that can easily swallow your schedule for months.
