On the 8 billion humans that inhabit our Earth, it is 3.1 billion who regularly play video games. Approximately 40% of the world population. These are figures that are quite amazing statements by DFC Intelligence. So naturally, this is not 3.1 billion video game players as we can know it on PC or on console.
In this serious study conducted on a very large scale, analysts are based on all forms of video games. That is to say, the current games (PC, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch), the retro games (old consoles of the years 1980, 1990, and 2000), but also games on mobile and tablet devices.
But this is not all, for the small games for PC and mobile that can be found on Facebook or on the internet browsers also come into account ! Thus, on the $ 3.1 billion players, we are only 8% of the players consoles and 48% of PC gamers (a total of 1.5 billion PC gamers). We account for about 44% of the number of players on other platforms (such as smartphones and tablets, for example).
For the location of its players, our european continent brings together more than 668 million players and is ranked second places of concentration of players on the planet. No great surprise, Asia ranked first of the continents at 1.42 billion players. In Asia alone, we find 53% of mobile players. In the third position of the continents where there are the most players, we find the South America with 383 million players. North America with the United States and Canada to arrive in the fourth with 261 million players.
There is no doubt that the numbers are expected to become increasingly important over the months and years in this new decade of the 2020s.
