“…This study, which focuses on consumption habits and motivations, is based on previous studies that have already gone deeper into this field. With regard to consumption habits, research has been carried out by the authors of [6,12,13] focusing on adolescents, although it is also worth mentioning the study [14] by Maya et al, which focused on online multiplayer video games. Within the study of habits, we can find studies focusing on different populations [15,16], including the incidence on the self-concept of university students and primary school children [17,18]; e-sports events attendees [19]; and how the prolonged use of video games affects the perception of violence [20] and gender differences about it.…”

The world of video games has become one of the most important entertainment niches for society. In the last decade it has surpassed in turnover audio-visual markets such as cinema and music, driving the development of a new form of communication. The increase in the number of female gamers has highlighted the need to discover differences and similarities between players, both in habits and motivations. We present a study based on a survey procedure for the completion of a questionnaire that aimed to cover the age range of 18 to 30 years of Spanish youngsters and that reached a total of 711 valid responses. The results showed that there were no significant differences in terms of hours spent playing video games between the two genders, although there were motivational differences in the reasons for playing, specifically in terms of competition and challenge. The discussion of the results was carried out by means of a comparative statistical analysis of means to confirm the hypotheses and meet the objectives. Despite the existence of significant differences between genders, these were not as notable as might be expected. When it comes to gaming, as we have detected in our study, there were some consumption habits with differentiated gender patterns; however, in relevant indicators such as hours of consumption, increase in lockdown consumption, and spending, there were no significant differences. The gender gap that existed a few years ago between video gamers is becoming progressively narrower.
