How Many US Kids Play Video Games? Near-Universal Participation

No single official count exists, but data indicates near-universal participation:

• ESA (2023): 97% of US households own a game device (console, PC, phone, tablet).
• ESA: Average gamer age is 35 — meaning a huge portion are under 18.
• Pew Research (2018): 90% of US teens play video games.
