A new survey has found that over half of gamers prefer to play single-player titles.

According to Midia Research, this game mode is most popular across all platforms – particularly on mobile, with 58% of respondents saying they preferred single-player games.

The data from the survey was collected from Midia Research's Q1 2024 and Q1 2023 consumer surveys across the US, UK, Australia, Canada, Germany, France, Poland, Turkey, and South Africa.

Research found that older gamers were more drawn to single-player titles, with 74% of gamers aged over 55 choosing to play games solo.

Personally speaking I don't like the alternatives much, between the comfort, the touchpads, the OS, and the community support to list just a handful of reasons, the others really do not interest me

I'm glad alternatives exist for people who can still put up with windows though, it's nice to have competition in the handheld PC space
