Diversity

There’s no debate at this point in time. Video games are the greatest entertainment medium in the last few years. After just a few decades of being the provider of fun and entertainment. The gaming industry has grown up and become a magnificent entity that now can be a way of life for many. Professional gamers, game journalists and streamers have become relevant and the industry continues moving forward.

Who plays video games? Which genre is most popular?

The video game market is mostly localized in two regions, Japan and United States of America. The latter was the subject of study of the Paw Research Center. Which started to determine the variety of players in the country through a survey.

Let’s start with gender, Paw Research Center showed that men are the people who play video games the most. With seven-in-ten men younger than 30 (72%) say they play video games often or sometimes, compared with 49% of women in the same age group.

You might also be interested to know that gaming time is also varied according to education. College graduates (36%) are significantly less likely to play than adults with some college experience (50%). While people who did not attend college (42%) saying they actually play video games. You’ll be surprised to know as well that adults who work part/full time (47%) are as likely as the people who are unemployed/Looking for work (43%).

In regards to the popular game genres, the Paw Research Center mentioned that Strategy and Puzzle games are dominant. About six-in-ten adults who say they play video games often or sometimes report that they typically play these types of games (62% each).

Other genres such as adventure, shooter, role-playing, team sport or racing and simulation games are all somewhat less commonly played, with about half of video game players or fewer saying they typically play these types of games.

These are just a few of the many stats the Paw Research Center has provided about gamers. It certainly seems like surprising results and I’m kind of bothered that genres like “Horror” weren’t included. We can only hope the gaming industry and community continue to grow like this!

I always wanted to be a journalist who listens. The Voice of the Unspoken and someone heavily involved in the gaming community. From playing as a leader of a competitive multi-branch team to organizing tournaments for the competitive scene to being involved in a lot of gaming communities. I want to keep moving forward as a journalist.

Warner Bros. was let down by the game’s underwhelming sales, but they remained committed to turning their live service vision into a reality. An exciting new DLC update has been released, introducing The Crown Prince of Crime to the game.

As the game’s first live season begins, players will have the chance to take on Green Lantern and, in the end, unlock The Joker as a playable character. Which Joker are you referring to? This is quite intricate. Furthermore, players can look forward to the inclusion of a Battle Pass, a variety of new shop items available for purchase, exciting Incursions and Strongholds to partake in, as well as an expanded selection of Infamy Sets and Notorious Gear to amass.

While Sony may not classify Gran Turismo 7 as a live-service game, the team at Polyphony Digital certainly approaches it with a similar mindset. The game continues to impress with every new update, and although v1.44 may be smaller compared to previous versions, it still manages to enhance the already extensive content of this simulation racer.

The update, now available worldwide, introduces three new cars: the Audi R8 Coupé V10 Plus ’16, the Lamborghini Urus ’18, and the Toyota GT-One (TS020) ’99. Furthermore, it introduces three fresh events to World Circuits, an extra menu to conquer in the GT Café single-player campaign, and a collection of livery stickers inspired by the upcoming Highspeed Étoile anime, set to debut next week in Japan.
