Majority of Gamers Favor Single-Player Over Live-Service Games

A new survey reveals 53% of gamers prefer single-player experiences, challenging the industry's focus on live-service models.

The survey by Midia Research indicates a significant preference for single-player games among gamers globally.
Data shows a strong age correlation, with older gamers favoring single-player modes and younger gamers more inclined towards multiplayer experiences.
Despite the industry's push for live-service games, many have failed to capture long-term success, as seen with recent titles like Sony's 'Concord.'
Successful single-player games like 'Elden Ring' and 'Black Myth: Wukong' have sold millions, underscoring their market appeal.
The study suggests developers might benefit from releasing single-player games during breaks in live-service game seasons.
