Video games aren’t just for kids anymore. Many adults enjoy playing them to relax after work. But as we get older, our gaming habits often change (according to GameStar).
How does gaming change after turning 30?
A Reddit user recently started a discussion asking people over 30 how their gaming has changed as they’ve gotten older.
Honestly, a lot of us are saying the same thing – life just gets busier, you know? Work, family, new hobbies… it all adds up. Because of that, we really cherish our free time. So, when it comes to gaming, we want to make sure it’s *worth* it – we don’t want to feel like we’re just wasting hours on something that isn’t super engaging.
Easy mode/story mode – I don’t have time for endless grinding.
I have no regrets about using solutions and codes. I value my time more.
A lot of gamers are stepping away from multiplayer games, or playing them less often. Popular titles like League of Legends and Counter-Strike 2 can require a huge time commitment just to improve your ranking. Based on what people are saying, many older gamers now prefer single-player games with complete, focused stories that don’t require endless grinding.
Gamers over 30 are increasingly focused on game quality. They often feel their time is too valuable to spend on games that aren’t good, or to push themselves to complete games they aren’t enjoying.
I have much less patience for bad projects because now my time is more valuable to me.
I don’t have the patience for games that don’t give me complete enjoyment.
Many gamers find they’re just not as interested in games as they used to be. They might *want* to play, but quickly get bored once they start. Older players sometimes stop playing for long stretches because it becomes physically difficult to continue.
However, a new group of gamers is emerging who aren’t focused on traditional PCs. They’re drawn to immersive, expansive games – often called “megagames” – that feel like second homes. Roblox is a prime example, attracting millions of players, especially younger ones, who enjoy spending hours within its world.
