Average Age of Gamer Increases
Ask a Question
I read that the average age of a typical gamer in getting older. The 55 to 64 yrs old category has seen a sharp increase.
Are you a keen gamer? What sort of games do you play? Can anyone recommend a fun one for the iPad or the tiny screen of an android mobile?
I like to play fortnite on ps4, im a mum of 3 and my 2 boys got me into it a couple of years ago after i initially hated the game! I now have more wins than them 
I only play for a hour every now and again when the kids are all in bed (usually because i have other important things to do) but i do find it quite relaxing. I say...some mums have a glass of wine to unwind, i play fortnite 
.
My other half plays Call of Duty sometimes but i can't get the hang of that.
PinkElephant26 you’re very trendy with Fortnite! I think Tetris is about my limit. Impressive that you have more wins than your kids.
HappyTravels my kids say fortnite is outdated now but its still my go to game.
I used to love tetris on the game boy when i was a kid!
Like me yesterday my son wanted a game that had an older certificate . So I had to test while he was in school 
MissShakira was it any good? I find most games too complicated - probably just my short attention span 
MissShakira haha! My kids sometimes tell me to get them to a certain tier on fortnite when theyre at school but i never have time to play during the day.
We got a Oculus quest 2 VR a few month ago and I absolutely loveit. Made lockdown a lot more bearable. Lots of different style of games, some VR videos experiences, It's brilliant
HappyTravels it's so easy to set up and play or do experiences . It honestly did a lot for my (and my hubby) mental health during lockdown . You can sort of travel through it by visiting places which is fab. And it costs about the price of a smartphone (300 pounds) which is why we bought it in the first place.
I Not a gamer, but my husband who is 63 any my son 24 both spend a lot of time playing games.
My OH is a gamer but my eldest son is a serious gamer. Pre covid he used to travel alot entering gaming events / comps etc. Alot of his set up is from events he's won at. He also knows a few well known you tubers through it all. I used to play alot on xbox / ps when my sons were younger but not these days. Unless you count call of duty on mobile. I play that a fair bit.
