Recently, analysts from Ampere Analysis presented the results of a large-scale survey of players from 22 countries. More than 34,000 people took part in it.
They found that many are still interested in single-player games: 58% of players in the UK said they prefer single-player games to multiplayer ones.
- In Japan, this figure was 63%, and in the USA it was slightly higher — 65%
- In Thailand — 62%, and in Germany — 60%
There is also another situation. For example, in China and Sweden, more players stated that they prefer multiplayer games: only 47% and 49% respectively chose single-player projects, while in the Netherlands this figure was 50%.
Judging by the survey results, age may influence the choice in favor of «single-player projects». Ampere Analysis noted: only 49% of players in the 16–24 age group stated that they prefer single-player games, while among players aged 25–34 this figure was 56%, and among those aged 55–64 it was 64%.
