Gaming has grown in popularity during the pandemic, with Ofcom finding that 62% of UK adults played some form of video game in 2020, with increases across all age groups. We seek to explore the rise of older gamers and want to speak to older people who have gotten into video games over the past year, especially during the pandemic.
A recent report by GWI revealed that people aged 55-64 are the fastest growing market, growing 32% since 2018 as gaming is increasingly viewed as ‘family time’. . A poll last December also found that one in four grandparents played video games to keep in touch with their grandchildren during lockdown.
If that’s you, we’d love to hear about your favorite games and your motivations for getting into gaming. What were the benefits of your new hobby? Did it provide you with a fun way to keep in touch with children or grandchildren you couldn’t see during lockdown, or did it help your mental well-being?
