Washington - More than half (53%) of all American adults play video games, with younger adults playing the most and game play decreasing as age increases, according to a report from the Pew Internet & American Life Project.

Eighty-one percent of young adults (ages 18-29) said they play video games, compared with 23% of those 65 or older.

While younger adults are still more likely to play games, among older adults (65-plus) who play games, nearly a third play every day, compared to 20% of younger players.

Pew also found that age plays a role in determining which gaming platform players prefer.

Game consoles are most popular (75%) among young adults, followed by computers (68%).

Overall, the U.S. adult gaming population prefers to play games on computers (73%), followed by consoles (53%), cell phones (35%) and portable gaming devices (25%).
