New research shows a massive generational divide in game genre preferences. A study by MIDiA Research surveyed 9,000 gamers across several countries including the US, UK, Germany, and South Korea. It found that online player-vs-player games are more popular than single-player ones among audiences aged 16-24. Only 30% of this bracket wants to play alone, while a whopping 68% of them would rather play online or couch co-op.

    I’m 21 and only play singleplayer stuff.

    I do think that the fact I actually started playing games at 19 ( that’d when I got a laptop that could run games decently ) and the fact that no rl friend of mine had a pc just left me with mp/coop games with no friend’s to play with and I just didn’t like them.

    So nowdays I play singleplayer stuff, especially latelly on the used ps4 I bought, stuff like bloodborne, yakuza 0, god of war, nier automata, …, and elden ring rn.
