Have A Look At The Top Ten Most Played Games In The World


Have you ever wondered just how hours we put into our favourite games?

We all try and sneak the odd hour here or there, or those of us with more spare time might get the occasional full day of gaming in, but how does it all add up.

We're not talking about just you though, what if you took everyone and smushed their gaming time together?

Well, if you're curious as to what that would look like, then we've got good news.

Good lord that's a lot of gaming

In a report put out by GAME, it was announced that if you take every hour put into the top 10 most-played games then you get 19.2 million years of gaming.

That's, frankly, an unfathomable amount of gaming, just an obscene amount of gaming.

If you're trying to work out how much that is, or if you'd like a nerdy fact to compare it with, that's roughly 12 million years longer than human beings have been on the earth.

We, as a species, have spent more time gaming on Earth than the time that the human race itself has been on Earth.
