Chiaki loves video games, even "crappy ones" according to her report card. She claims to be a fan of all genres, and she was apparently so skilled that she was recognized for her talent and was accepted into Hope's Peak Academy as the Ultimate Gamer. While Chiaki only considers video games to be her hobby, it is clear that she is obsessed with them. She has even admitted to sleeping while standing and forgetting to breath as a result of her vigorous gaming sessions.

In Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, Chiaki can often be found playing arcade games in the hotel lobby. She concentrates hard while playing, and doesn't usually pay much attention to anything else. In Hajime's Free Time Events with Chiaki, she also often mentiones video games. One time she said that she wants to play a game with Hajime, that is only playable in the sun. Another time, Hajime asks Chiaki if she can also play video games in her dreams, because she was talking about a game, while sleeping.

In Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak Academy, Hajime first meets Chiaki, at a water fountain near the school, when she bumped into him while playing a game. After that, the two were regularly meeting each other to play video games together. Generally, in the anime Chiaki is often seen to play video games, either alone or with her friends. Even in promo art, Chiaki is sometimes seen to play video games or to hold her game console in her hand. In Dengekis PlayStation Awards 2012 Memorial Visual Book, Chiaki is also seen to, along with Monokuma.

Fanon
As is the case with most cargo ships, this ship is mainly a joke. Even among other cargo ships in the Danganronpa fandom, this one isn't that well-known. Chiaki x Video games gets overshadowed by serveral other Chiaki ships, such as, Hinanami, Soniaki, Komanami and Nanamiki. In several pieces of fan art, Chiaki is often depicted playing video games.
