Video games are great stress reducer for any age. Older folks tend to play the free app games on phones, unlike pro gamers with headsets, special gaming "chair" LOL, and accessories, etc.
 
I didn't play any types of games thru my 30's.. last thing I purchased was a PS3 when it first came out but I only used it for the blue ray, I owned no games.

But then last year when the lockdown started my kid gave me his PS4 to use since we just finished building his computer.

I'm 40 now and damn did I miss out on some good games.Im an RPG guys, so I've waisted this past year on Horizon Zero, Ghost Tsushima, RD2 and now AC Valhalla..

And the old lady doesn't mind because she says she would rather me being home playing games with the kids then out at the bars like the old days..
 
I’ll play a game of dota to relax at night after work. May buy a PS5 once NCAA football comes out.
 
Im 34 and mostly play mobile apps sudoku or scrabble alike,,, played videogames regulary until my early 20s (snes, pc ,megadrive ,psx, xbox) , the last console that i bought was the ps3 in my mid twenties but didnt use it a lot...after quite sometme i began playing recently again during quarantine, played AC black flag and GTA 5...but didnt finish either,,, I liked them but for me its not the same as before...just dont have the same enthusiasm and patience for games as I had before, wish I had...
 
To quote the great King of Kong documentary: "Everyone games. Hell, show me a nun or hermit that hasn't played cards or checkers. Even grandma games". Gaming is part of being human. It just so happens that they have moved to being on our display devices rather than boards and pieces. Gaming is intended for all ages and shouldn't be something you stop just because you are getting older.
 
I don’t play them at the moment.
 
Haven’t played a ton in recent years, but I got into Dead by Daylight a few months ago and have been playing a lot.
 
46. I still play UFC on XBox and Wii Sports loads, it's really fun. I don't do it on my own though.
Some really good memories playing with my sister and brother in laws playing Wii bowling for so many hours we all had to swap arms.
 
What the hell else am I suppose to do?? There is really not much else to do truly.
 
Every day. Ps4 and a couple games on PC. Used to be way into World of Warcraft. Now Ps4 gets most my time. Games with great scenery like the Uncharted series (the retcon of Chloe Frazier was gay so I disliked Lost Legacy a bit less on principle). The Last of Us 1 (2 kinda blows comparatively, but has some really good stuff, in it here and there). Ghosts of Tsushima. Horizon: Zero Dawn.

For shooters I like BF1 and BF5 these past couple of years (1 is better). Used to play CoD a lot during 2 and 3 like a decade ago.
 
Doesn't seem like many new and interesting games are being released these days.
 
I do, I still play the games I like tho. Streets of Rage 4 on the ps5 is my shit
 
52, and I am still a computer gamer with no end in sight.
 
I just bought an arcade cabinet. No, not an arcade1up, an arcade true to size. So yes, I still play video games.
