Approximately 65% of adults play games, and in most cases, they play games that fit in the “casual” segment. The survey concluded that 60% of the participants in the country prefer playing games on smartphones. However looking into the gaming world as a whole, the 50% part of gamers still prefer playing on consoles and PCs.
Female gamers between 18 and 34 years old prefer âCandy Crushâ, âAssassinâs Creedâ and âTomb Raiderâ and play most often on smartphones, while their male counterparts mostly play games on consoles, particularly âGod of Warâ, âMadden NFLâ and âFortnite.â
It’s a rather unusual shift in trends, while a great part of users was considered that companies were wrong by introducing gaming smartphones, seems that idea is finally catching up with users. So it’s natural to expect more gaming smartphones in the future as well as improved gaming-related features.
