Video game usage has seen a big bump amid stay-at-home orders across the globe, Nielsen reports. Nielsen Games polled roughly 3,000 individuals across France, Germany, the U.K.
and the U.S. as part of its monthly Video Game Tracking survey. The results showed that gaming has seen a spike amid the quarantine, as over the week of March 23-29 each country reported an increase in time playing video games.
The U.S. saw the most pronounced spike, 45 percent, with France (38 percent), the U.K. (29 percent) and Germany (20 percent) rounding out the list.
Unsurprisingly, online play has also increased, with respondents noting more time spent playing games with others via internet connection.
