An October 2021 survey of gaming audiences in the United States found that the majority of gamers preferred to play single player games where the only opponent was the game or the computer. A further 19 percent of respondents stated that online with friends was their main way to play games, which is further underlined by the popularity of multiplayer genres such as battle royale or first person shooters.
