A survey between September and October 2023 revealed that 41 percent of U.S. teens who played video games had been called an offensive name when playing video games, making it the most common form of in-game harassment experienced among teen gamers. Boys aged 13 to 17 years were more likely to be physically threatened, while girls were most likely to receive unwanted sexually explicit things.
