    Americans Spend Over $58,000 On Gaming In A Lifetime

    Americans Spend Over $58,000 On Gaming In A Lifetime

    From buying COD points in Call of Duty: Vanguard to spending money on skins and special bundles in League of Legends, many Americans find themselves dishing out their savings to play their favorite online games.

    This made the All Home Connections team wonder, how much does it cost to be a gamer over the course of a lifetime and what do gamers spend the most money on?

    They surveyed 1,000 gamers and found that the average gamer spends around $76 each month on gaming. That includes internet, in-app purchases, new games, and gaming equipment, amounting to roughly $1,000 a year and over $58,000 over the course of a lifetime.

    Why is gaming so expensive? Gamers reported spending the most on buying new games (19.50% of respondents) and in-app purchases (19% of respondents).

    What Is it?

    Our report reveals how much 1,000 American gamers spend on gaming in a month, a year and a lifetime, which generation spends the most and how much Americans spend on video games compared to fitness, travel, and streaming subscriptions. With the recent news that Americans spent a record $60.4 billion on video games in 2021, the All Home Connections team wanted to find out how much each generation of Americans will spend on gaming over a lifetime.

    How Did All Home Connections Get the Data?

    • They surveyed 1,000 American gamers on Pollfish to find out how much they spend on gaming each month, which generation spends the most on gaming and how much gamers spend on gaming compared to travel and fitness.
    • They also calculated how much money each generation would make by retirement age if they invested the amount that they spend on gaming each month at a 6% return rate from age 16 to 65.
