📝 Over 80% of People Play Games Globally

Discover how gaming habits are evolving in 2024, with Generation Alpha prioritizing games over social media. Explore key insights on player preferences, spending patterns, and popular game genres.

What’s Going On Here?

Newzoo’s 2024 report unveils a global shift in gaming habits, especially among younger generations, where over 80% of people worldwide are now active gamers. Notably, Generation Alpha prefers gaming over social media, spending slightly more time on games weekly. Adventure games are popular across generations, with younger players also drawn to social elements within games. Console players emerge as the highest spenders, and regions like Southeast Asia, MENA, and Latin America show the strongest interest in exploring new game titles.

What Does This Mean?

This data highlights gaming’s deep integration into mainstream culture, with spending trends and engagement preferences reflecting distinct generational patterns. Console players invest more financially, favoring immersive gameplay and social interactions, whereas mobile players engage more frequently but spend less. The high receptiveness to new gaming experiences in emerging markets like Southeast Asia and Latin America signals strong growth potential in these regions, especially as digital infrastructures continue to expand.

Why Should I Care?

These trends are essential for understanding future gaming landscapes. For developers, younger generations’ preference for social, open-world experiences indicates a shift toward games that facilitate collaborative and community-driven play. Web3 gaming, with its focus on user ownership and decentralized interaction, could meet these demands, offering the personalized, immersive environments that resonate with Gen Alpha and Z. For businesses, the data on high-spending console players and emerging markets provides guidance on where investments could drive substantial returns.

✍️ 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.
