You’re never too old to play video games, I don’t care what anyone says. On the flip side, you may be too young to play video games such as a toddler playing Grand Theft Auto or Mortal Kombat. So stick to Bluey and Pepper Pig, child!
I’m old enough to have been blessed with manyvideo gamegenerations. Put it this way, I’m old enough to remember the screeching tapes of the Spectrum 128k and Commodore Amiga 1200 that would most likely crash at 90% loading, resulting in you having to restart the torment all over again. If you know, you know.

With that in mind, a 41-year-old gamer on Reddit has questioned whether he is too old to play video games. The short answer to that already-established question is no. You’re not too old my seasoned gaming enthusiast and the Reddit thread was unsurprisingly in support.
“I am 41-years-old. My wife recently bought me a PlayStation 5 for my birthday. I have been playing four games recently. Three of them are MLB The Show,Call of DutyandUFC5. I am horrible at all three. I’m not having fun, but only for the reason that I get dominated. Today the AI pitched a no-hitter to me on Rookie difficulty. I went 2 and 27 on Call of Duty, and I got beat three consecutive times in my second fight onUFC5Career Mode on Easy. I have been playing video games since 1988 or 1989. This is pathetic,”saida downbeat Nmofpuppets21.

“Thanks for reading. I think I’m done. In the games I used to find fun, I got absolutely dominated. If anyone has any advice I would gladly take it. A different controller, different settings, different games…anything,” he continued.
“Play some open-world games and crank down the difficulty till you dominate!Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West,Ghost of Tsushima,The Witcher 3, andRed Dead Redemption 2are all big fun games that look great on the PS5,” said an inspiring Bechimo. “Also, I’m 66 and bought the PS5 just forHorizon Forbidden West. Never give up, never surrender.”
“I’m 52 and this is the answer. I was never much into competitive multiplayer games anyway, but with two kids and a full work schedule the time I do get to play, I want it to be memorable,” replied Several-Archer4786. “These giant single-player open-world games with good story-driven narratives have kept me playing. I would also addThe Last of Usseries as a must-play.”
“I’m the same at 58, I play a lot ofGTA Online, where I just enjoy driving around and parachuting from one end of the map to the other, having fun avoiding other players,” said Oldefinger. “I’ll spend 20 minutes or so doing that to relax before dinner, or at the end of the night. I also play with the Rockstar Editor a lot. I love making little movies.”
