Study reveals women are more active gamers than men

A new study reveals Indian women are hyper-casual gamers and spend two hours playing free games on an average on their smartphones.

The gamer stereotype has always belonged to boys and men, but that notion doesn’t seem to be true anymore. A recent survey by CyberMedia Research on September 23 stated that 95 per cent of the women they surveyed in a test involving 2,000 smartphone users, were very active ‘gamers’. In comparison, only 86 per cent of men turned out to be active gamers.

About 75 per cent of the people surveyed played games for up to two hours on their smartphones. The study further revealed that of the people surveyed, 78 per cent of women made it to the two-hour mark compared to 72 per cent of men. 33 per cent of the people engaged in multiple gaming sessions in a single week.
