How many hours do you play a day?

[lexcion]

I used to play a lot when I was younger but nowadays I have a lot of work which gets in the way. I find myself playing only on the weekends and maybe a little in the weekdays if there is time. On the weekend I probably pump in 8-12 hours total while maybe a quick 15 minute game of Overwatch on Mondays-Fridays.

It fluctuates between 1 hour to 12 hours. It depends whether I have work or not; whether I have the motivation to play or not; or whether I am really invested in the game I am currently playing. When I obsess over a game, I go straight at it for hours at a time. If I'm finished with the game, I have no interest in it and would probably not even open it ever again. It's all about moderation though, so you gotta make sure to stretch your legs after an intensive session of gaming.

There was a time when my gaming had no specific time limits. I could play a game continuously for long hours. In all my spare time all I did was playing my favourite game and nothing else.

Now things have changed and I play game for less than an hour daily. Family responsibilities and work keep me away from gaming.

I used to play entire day for the game. You can see that I play around 2 hours or so during weekdays. And more than 6 hours these days during the weekend. So it all adds up for me. I have not spent much time on the games lately. But in future my hours are going to reduce even more. I don't know if that is a good thing or bad thing in that context. But less hour the better for my health.

I used to play 4 to 6 hours a day. Today I can not play for long because I need to work. I currently play 1 or 2 hours a day at most.
If I could, I would definitely play more!

 

[StolenKid]

I game between 3 to 5 hours a day, after works, on weekends if I don't go out, I play around 5 to 8 hours.

 

[SerSlavos]

It depends really, sometimes none at all, sometimes an hour or so, sometimes 4-5 hours. It's just how much free time I have for gaming and it depends on many other factors.

 

[zackd]

I usually play 1-2 hours now since I'm an adult and have responsibilities lol. But I used to be a legit avid gamer who played 4-5 hours a day in high school and college. I'm big into sports games and rpg's; it's totally normal for me to sit down at 7:00pm and pop in 2k or madden and the next thing I know it's 11 or 12.

 

[Gladdy]

It completely depends on my real life responsibilities. Being a young adult is not easy! I have to compensate things and accept that you can't play games all day, not that I would want to do that anyway

When I was younger, I could play for hours and hours. Usually, after school, if I didn't go out with friends I went straight to the computer and gamed. But ever since I have grown up a bit, my priorities changed - games aren't near the top anymore so I don't dedicate that many hours per day to gaming. Probably anywhere between 1-3 hours per day but it varies. On weekends, it can be a bit more or if a brand new game gets released than the young gamer in me comes back to life!

When I was still young I was playing nearly the whole day and was often scolded by my mom. Nowadays due to my hectic work I can play only for about one or two hours daily on weekdays. However, during weekends it can be about three to five hours. Normally if it is a new interesting game I tend to spend more time playing it.

Normally, I don't have a precise amount of time spent on games and gaming daily. I'm just sure that, sometimes, I spend three to four hours while, at some other times, I spend much more than that. The major reason I spend a good time gaming is that it engages me so much and keeps me away from being just idle, not knowing what to do.

 

[BethSztruhar]

It depends. I usually play around 2 hours a day. On the weekends it's more like 4-5 hours. Sometimes I play all day long if there's a new game that I want to play desperately.

 

[WildSpirit]

Nowadays, I unfortunately don't have the time that I had before (and this is a little bit sad :sob, but I can still play for 2 or 3 hours a day (if I want to... because it's not always that I'm in the mood to play for so long :tongueout. In the end, what matters is not the amount of hours that you play each day... But the love that you have for the act of playing video games. :wink:

 

[TheArticulate]

I've been really busy lately due to school and work, but when I have more time to myself, I like to put in maybe 2 or 3 hours of gaming on any given day. When I was younger, I used to be able to play video games incessantly during the day, but I've gotten to the point where I like to play in smaller increments and do other things for a while before returning to the game.

 

[Ferns]

On a typical work day I don't really have time or the energy to play so maybe 0 to 1 hour. Weekends are a different story, if I don't have to go out then I would spent around 5 to 6 hours. Otherwise I would still find time to play at least 3 hours.

 

[thart]

It's like me too, i play around 3 to 4 hours in free time per day. It will be more in vacation because there nothing to do.

 

[SashaS]

During the days of Minecraft and Warfare multiplayer, I was practically at addiction level and played for anything from 5 to 12 hours per day. It definitely took away my life, especially from a social standpoint.

I did the same with CS:GO a few years later, especially during holidays/vacations, where I'd play for around 10 hours per day. Matchmaking sort of forces you into this type of thing as you can't just leave games without consequences.

Now, no more than 5 hours. I get tired after going for three hours straight and when I reach that five hour threshold, even if I do take breaks, I just lose interest in looking at the screen. This is obviously a good thing as it forces me to go out and do something useful or productive instead, which is great.

At least 1-2 hours a day, but it mainly depends on the amount of free time I have. I usually play for about 6-7 hours on weekends. Normally, I play some games on my phone during my spare time to quickly relax for a bit. It instantly rejuvenates me and is a great stress buster for me.

 

[Moaz]

It depends if I'm going out or not, but I usually stay up to 9 hours a day (If I'm not going out) Which is something very bad..and harmful, but I don't know why I'm addicted to gaming.

You should use an alarm clock or something so you get reminded when to do stretches. Stretching and drinking water is important in these sessions so your body can stay healthy while you are immobile for a long period of time. Make sure to move your legs a bit because a blood clot may happen and you'll be dead for playing games.
