📝Over 70% of Women Online Play Games Globally

Discover how women gamers are shaping the video game industry. Explore key statistics, gaming preferences, and the growing importance of diversity and representation in gaming.

What’s Going On Here?

Recent data from Newzoo reveals that over 70% of women online play games, highlighting their significant role in the gaming community. Despite this, fewer women identify as "gamers" compared to men, though they are a major consumer segment, particularly in mobile gaming.

What Does This Mean?

The data underscores a shift in the gaming landscape, emphasizing the growing influence of female gamers. It also reflects a need for the industry to better represent women both in-game and in gaming roles, as well as to cater to their preferences, such as a strong inclination towards mobile platforms.

Why Should I Care?

Understanding the increasing presence of women in gaming is crucial for developers and marketers aiming to create inclusive and engaging experiences. Addressing the representation gap and catering to the diverse preferences of female gamers can drive growth and foster a more inclusive gaming culture.

✍️ Reviews of the Week

Step into the Grim Syndicate universe for a unique TCG experience then create your own character to dive into neverending dungeon runs and loot to choose from in our two featured reviews:

Abysswalkers offers a well-designed TCG experience with an excellent tutorial that immerses players in the game's lore. The graphics are solid, with decent VFX, though additional effects for character play could enhance the experience. The audio design is competent but could benefit from more distinct sounds for attacks and effects. The gameplay is easy to understand and has depth, but the limited card variety restricts playstyle diversity.

Seraph: In the Darkness has shown consistent improvement through numerous playtests, though it hasn't reached perfection. The graphics are impressive with clear visual effects, and the audio design features well-made sound effects, though the English version has some dialogue errors. The gameplay is enjoyable and easy to understand, with initial acts being relatively easy and increasing difficulty in the void realm tiers. The endgame offers hours of play but may feel purposeless once high-level items are acquired, although item trading could appeal to some players.
