Key Barriers for Women in Gaming

A study in collaboration with Undone Games and Unity on how women feel about playing video games. We found:

Main Findings

• Almost a third (29%) of women experience guilt about taking the time to play video games
• One in six women (16%) keep gaming a secret for fear of judgement
• A third (30%) are embarrassed to call themselves a ‘gamer’
• Despite this, 41% feel that playing games is a daily highlight in their lives
