Of course, there’s a difference between casual relaxation and long gaming sessions, and Vinícius admits he dedicates several hours to it.
In a conversation with popular Spanish streamer Ibai Llanos, he openly discussed his daily routine.
Vinicius reveals how many hours he plays PlayStation
According to the winger, his typical day consists of training, heading home, taking a nap, eating, and then settling in to play on his console. From around 7:00 p.m. until midnight, he plays PlayStation with friends, focusing mainly on Call of Duty and EA Sports FC 26.
“I’m good at FIFA. We play Pro Clubs, each with our own player. I have a good team and we have a great time, with my friends here and with my friends from Brazil. What I like to do most at home is play PlayStation and padel. I built a court at home,” he told Llanos.
In many ways, Vinícius lives a lifestyle many young fans dream about, enjoying evenings gaming with close friends before returning to training the next day.
