Original survey question: Do you ever play games at home or elsewhere in any of these ways? On a games console or games player (e.g. PlayStation, Xbox or Nintendo Switch)
A September to November 2024 survey of UK adults aged 16 years and older found that over five in ten respondents aged between 16 and 24 years played games on a gaming console. Console gaming was the second-most popular type of video gaming in the UK, ranking only behind mobile gaming in terms of audience reach.
