With recent reports showing that 82% of people are in a “ready to travel” mindset in 2022, the All Home connections team wondered: are Americans spending more on video games or vacations?

They surveyed 1,000 American gamers and found that our respondents reported spending 20% more on video games yearly than they do on travel. 

The average gamer spends $912 per year on gaming and only $772.60 per year on vacations. See what else they found in the full report.

• Gamers spend the most on buying new games (19.50% of respondents) and in-app purchases (19% of respondents).
