How SSSniperwolf Really Got Into Gaming

As SSSniperwolf explained to British Vogue in 2020, she and her younger brother got a PlayStation from their father because he thought that it might keep them from fighting. “It worked — we’d play everything from ‘Metal Gear’ to ‘Digimon World.'”

She elaborated on the situation with her brother to TubeFilter, saying, “Instead of fighting, we played video games. We would start playing as soon as we got home from school, all day, and every weekend. Because I was a year older, I would always be player one, and he would be player two. Ever since then, I was hooked.”

SSSniperwolf added that other players’ videos of “Call of Duty” inspired her to start her own YouTube channel, which she began in 2013. “I used to watch a lot of ‘Call of Duty’ montage videos and gameplay, which was the real inspiration for launching my own channel and sharing my gameplay.” On SSSniperwolf’s channel, she has a playlist titled “Call of Duty” with 140 videos of the game uploaded between 2014 and 2017.
