What's the Average Age of Players in Genshin Impact

When calculating an average from major regions of the Genshin Impact player base, we find that the average age is around 28 years old worldwide.

But how did we determine this? By comparing data, the average age of players in the North American and European regions is estimated to be around 25 years old. It's important to note that this figure might be skewed towards a specific segment of gamers, particularly those who frequent Reddit forums for Genshin Impact.

However, including the Chinese region changes the picture. In China, the average player age is closer to 35 years old. This higher average could be more reflective of the true demographic, especially considering that miHoYo, the developer of Genshin Impact, is a Chinese company that has likely invested heavily in marketing to their local audience. 

I wonder if the Genshin Impact slang is the same there, and if the prettiest Genshin Impact characters are so there, even with the censorship... nah, probably not.

Age Distribution in Genshin Impact

While obtaining completely accurate data on player ages in Genshin Impact is challenging, several surveys have attempted to estimate the average age of its players.

Reddit Polls

One notable survey was conducted by Reddit user u/TopProgrammatically, gathering over 1600 responses from the official Genshin Impact Subreddit. However, it's important to consider some limitations:

  • The majority of participants were from North America, leading to a somewhat biased sample size.
  • The majority of Genshin Impact players are Chinese, who typically don't frequent these forums, affecting the representativeness of the results.

Interestingly, the survey revealed that a significant number of older users (ages 32-45) are actively playing Genshin Impact and participating in these polls. This finding challenges the common perception that the game's player base skews significantly younger.

One interesting thing is Genshin Impact gender distribution, which you can see on the image below:

This data may be correlated with a well-rounded cast of Genshin Impact, which provides both interesting male Genshin characters and female Genshin characters with unique and distinct designs. 

So yeah, despite Genshin Impact being rated PEGI 12, it successfully engages players well beyond this age group. There’s no stigma in enjoying the game even if you're more than twice the recommended age. In fact, Genshin Impact stands out from many other games for its ability to attract a global audience of all ages and genders
