how often do you actually *play* video games?

[Bluelady]

I rarely play on the weekdays. If I do, then it would just be for an hour or two because I'm usually in bed by 9PM.

Saturdays and Sundays are when I play the most. Right now I'm still hooked on the game Unicorn Overlord, so I'm easily clocking in 4-5 hours per day. If I were replaying a game, then the I would spend less time such as 3 hours in one sitting.

When I do get around to playing, I really only play for an hour or two. I just never seem to have enough time!

Basically all the games I play daily are gacha games. So it's like roughly 15 minutes a day at minimum depending on how I feeling.

For other games it's a couple hours per session every couple of weeks. More frequently if I'm playing a game with other people.

i usually play my gacha games everyday (like doing dailies which are generally pretty quick). as for complete games, it really depends. if i get really into something, i would also play it everyday until i finish. i play games in spurts when i have the energy for it so maybe i'll pick up a game every few months or something like that.

I play some of my gacha games daily, but it's really just surface level stuff like doing my dailes, blowing stamina and calling it a day. Not counting those, I honestly go through phases for gaming. Currently I'm trying to pick up my switch more because I was going a few months without truly playing anything. I'd say right now I'm currently playing 2-4 times a week, and my playtime usually ranges from 1-4 hours. I've gone for longer sessions when I get super into games but I've been pretty busy irl and I'm trying to pace myself which had been going well so far. :>

I play video games almost daily, but how much I play in a day can range anywhere between twenty minutes to a few hours. I usually only play a few hours in a day if I'm playing a new game I really love though. If I don't play games at all then my day was probably really busy, or I had a migraine.

not been playing many games lately. if i'm invested in a game, i'll play it every day or every other day for some time between 30 minutes to 6ish hours. if less so, then i could go a week or something without playing it

 

[Flaming_Oceans]

It's kind of random. I can go months and even longer because I just don't buy games often. I do play Genshin Impact daily but it's just for dailies so not sure if that counts.

This depends on my moods overall. I don't play video games every day and often tend to blitz play them in sessions at a time.

I picked up Smushi Come Home for the Switch and binged played it for three days straight before stopping. Otherwise, I don't really pick up a game unless it sparks a playing spree. The reason why is often because if I wait too long, I forget the story line of a game or the commands for the characters.

I usually play at least once a week and it'll be for at least an hour or more. Sometimes I play several times a week. It depends on how busy I am with work or social stuff. As I get older, and I suspect this was the case too when I was younger, I've found that playing too many video games and disrupting my sleep schedule has a big effect on my mood. When I find myself staying up late several days in a row, it really starts to take a toll. So, I try to moderate it.

Almost every day whenever I can, whether it's just 30 minutes or a few hours at best (three to four hours). It's good to unwind for a little while after a long day from work.

When I was much younger back in elementary school, I was only allowed to play video games on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Though, I do remember that for a short period, I was able to play on my Gameboy Advance right after I get home before being told to stop roughly 30 minutes later.
