Younger teens are the most avid gamers.   

The age of the teen is also an important variable in predicting game play frequency and duration, as well as the types of games played and experiences during game play. Unlike most other online or digital activities—where older teens are more likely to engage in an activity—older teens are less likely than younger teens to play games on a typical day. More than half (54%) of 12- to 14-year-olds played games yesterday, whereas 46% of 15- to 17-year-olds did so.
