MyRealGames Lead Trend for ‘Mature’ Gamers as Report Reveals 27% of Gamers are 50+

Jul 13, 2015

MyRealGames, one of the foremost online gaming sites, is leading the trend for ‘mature’ gaming – and with 27% of gamers aged 50 or over, they’re offering plenty of fun and entertainment for the older generation.

Research from the Entertainment Software Association’s annual report on the gaming world found that more than a quarter of gamers are over 50, which is higher than the percentage of gamers under 18 (26%). A further 17% of gamers are aged between 36 and 49, which means gamers over the age of 35 make up almost half of the total gaming demographic.

The stereotype of gamers being moody teens locking themselves away in their bedrooms for marathon gaming sessions is now void – people of all ages have grown up with video games and still enjoy them even into retirement. There is no longer a ‘typical’ video game player – gamers could be your grandparent, your teacher, the businesswoman you passed in the office or the policeman patrolling your neighborhood.

Nikolai Veselov, of MyRealGames, says, “Games are for everyone, regardless of age! We know that many adults grew up with video games, from the Atari and Nintendo games of their youth to the plethora of options available now. At MyRealGames, we strive to offer a comprehensive array of games that will appeal to all age groups – we’ve got educational games for kids, and we’ve got plenty of action and puzzle games that are sure to appeal to adults too.”

Among the adult gaming community, a number of celebrities have spoken out about their love of gaming. Kevin Spacey is one of Hollywood’s renowned gamers – so much so that he recently made an appearance in a famous gaming title. His character in House of Cards was also a gaming fanatic, when he wasn’t running the country – more proof that gaming has absolutely no age limits. Other celebrity gamers include Mila Kunis, Megan Fox and the late Robin Williams – who loves games so much, he named his daughter Zelda!

Nikolai adds, “Gaming is now as much of a genuine hobby as hiking or playing tennis – it’s inclusive, it’s fun and it has fans of all ages across the world. At MyRealGames, we’re always added new games that have appeal across multiple demographics, from match-three puzzles to fast-paced racing games. Keep checking back to the site for all the latest additions!”
