Gamer Types

Most gamers are grouped into one of two gamer types: hardcore and casual gamers. Over the years, the definition of both these terms have changed somewhat and, thanks to some new research, it seems there is more clarity.

8 Types Of Gamer

According to Newzoo, a global provider of games and esports analytics, gamers can be bunched together into 8 distinct groups. These are based on various metrics which range from how much money they spent to how much they watch esports.

Below are the 8 gamer types as described by the research from Newzoo.

1. The Ultimate Gamer (13%)

A gamer who loves nothing more than spending all their time and money on games.

2. The All-Around Enthusiast (9%)

A gamer for who is all about balance in their gaming life. From their buying habits to how much they view gaming-related videos, it’s all about finding the right balance.

3. The Cloud Gamer (19%)

The early adopter is a gamer who is among the first to game streaming services and who will only spend money on hardware when necessary.

4. The Conventional Player (4%)

This gamer owns a ton of gaming-related hardware and prefers spending time playing games rather than watching other people play.

5. The Hardware Enthusiast (9%)

A gamer who keeps up with all the latest hardware trends and probably has an extreme RGB emitting gaming rig in their home.

6. The Popcorn Gamer (13%)

This gamer prefers watching others play games than actually playing themselves.

7. The Backseat Viewer (6%)

Age can be a wicked thing. This gamer use to play a lot of games but then age, kids, marriage and life in general happened. Now they prefer watching others play games and immerse themselves in esports.

8. The Time Filler (27%)

This gamer plays games to help pass the time, and only when there is some time available. Of course, they would very rarely touch a PC game, as they prefer other platforms.

Do you think these are an accurate representation of the gamer types out there? Which gamer type do you see yourself as?
