Business of Games: subgenre preference across age group
Determine your subgenre game acceptance across different age groups in US, UK, and India (via data ai) #220
Hey Friends, Greetings from Bangalore 💗
Young Gamers (18-25) prefer dynamic and interactive genres.
- They are drawn towards Battle Royale shooters, arcade racing, and team-based RPG. Looks like they are gravitated towards fast-paced games.
Older Gamers (45+) prefer classic and strategic games
- They are drawn towards Solitaire, Match 3 (M3), and Slots games. We can say Wordle is their go-to game which has intellectual stimulation and leisurely play.
Turnoffs and Trends: The younger demographic (18-24) shows little interest in Word (puzzle) games, questioning the popularity of games like Wordle within their age group.
Similarly, Slots, M3, and Solitaire, despite their popularity among older gamers, do not appeal to this younger audience, indicating a significant shift in what is considered entertaining or engaging.
UK: Local RPG is a safe sub-genre to cover the 18-34 age group.
India: Capital of downloads (had 9,500M downloads in 2023). M3 and .io games are a safe genre to attract mass players.
