Who Plays Video Games?

by Larry Richman on December 18, 2008

According to the Pew Internet and American Life Project, more than half of US adults play video games, and about 20% play every day or almost every day. 81% of US adults ages 18-29 said they are video gamers, while only 23% of respondents 65 and older said the same. Only slightly more males (55%) than females (50%) are gamers.

There are no significant differences due to household income, and the more the education, the higher the level of video game playing. English-speaking Hispanics are more likely to be gamers than whites or blacks, and urban and suburban dwellers are a little more likely to play than rural folks.
