"Who is the average British gamer today?
Computer and console gaming is now a mass-market leisure activity, with millions of players throughout Europe. In the last few years the age group of those playing games has increased, and the average gaming age is now 23+.
Games are played across sexes, ages, and classes. Their spread is now almost universal.
38.2% of the UK population is an active computer gamer.
51.2% of British men and 25.1% of British women aged 10-35 play games regularly (SomeResearch).
The average computer gamer has been playing for over 10 years, approximately since the Sony PlayStation was released, with younger players having spent proportionately more of their lives with interactive entertainment.
On average, gamers play for 11 hours per week. To put that into perspective, it is estimated that the average person will watch three hours of television every night.
UK female players spend more on games than any other demographic in Western Europe except British males.
27.2% of all active gamers in the UK are women.
The average age of the UK female gamer is 30-35 years old."
