Video games are a hobby for more than 190 million Americans, a new survey finds — from Gen Alpha all the way through to the Silent Generation.

The average video gamer is now 36 years old — but Gen Alpha and Gen Z are most likely to play games.

    I work in tech so at least 80% of people play video games. Either hardcore or casually, on their phones, PCs or Steam deck. The other 20% don’t play video games because they’re busy with life, like they just had kids.

    I feel like if a boomer-minded take like, “Vidja games are for kids yuk yuk”, literally everyone would rip into them.

      The boomer minded take was, “video games are for lazy kids. Go outside and play.”
