I do about 90% of my gaming during the weekend. During the week I'm pretty focused on my job. But during weekends I can put in anywhere between 8-15 hours (that includes Friday), What about you, SW?

I used to game A LOT. Used to play hours every day. However, over the past year I probably only play a few hours a month. Between getting engaged, working 50 hours a week, going to the gym daily and going to meetings daily I just don't have time for it like I used to. I kinda miss it. There are a ton of games I want to play but I don't have time. I bought Uncharted 4 a few months ago and I don't think I'm half way through. Bought Dark Souls 3 about 2 months ago and I'm still only past the first boss at the beginning.

I graduated recently so I've had a lot more time to play some games than I normally do. 'Course that's only because I haven't started looking for work yet. That's gonna change once I do, so I guess better enjoy it while I can.

Not that much actually. Maybe 15-20 hours a week if I'm lucky.

I used to game a lot but life and other responsibilities have taken over. I have a lot of games in my backlog that need completing but not enough time to play them.

I mostly game at night after my kids have gone to bed. Most my games are too violent for 0-10 year old's.

On average, I'd say about 15 hours a week.

When those 15 hours depends entirely on my schedule for the week.

On average I get about an hour on weekdays to play, but weekends I get a lot more (especially Sunday). Weekly average: around 10-15 hours a week. But this goes up when I'm really into a game... like with Witcher 3, I was putting in big hours.

10-15 hours a week at the most these days. This will only get less and less when baby arrives but that's life I guess.

Since my hours have been cut at work a TON lately. Steam says I've played 42 hours the past two weeks lol. That's not including the occasional OW game here and there. If the lady and I do not have plans after I get off work I'll even get down on a few games of Rocket League. I also believe some of you are lying about your playtime lol. 5-10 hours a week lol. You guys/gals must have crazy/exciting social lives with shit going down constantly.

I do not have kids so maybe that's a factor.

Right now I'm waiting for my new job to start in two weeks so I have a ton of time to play games, but once it starts, it's going to be reduced a bit. I game a lot on the weekends and depending on how addicted I am, my playtime can vary from an hour or two up to 10 hours straight. On average, I'd say that 10-15 hours a week is the norm.

My job keeps me working around 10hrs a day, then when i get home i have 2 kids to look after while they're mum goes to work, i have also been putting in big work hours on weekends lately. So i haven't played a game in almost 2 weeks, and barely at all in the last year or so, but when people see my gamerscore they think i play on it for 10hrs a day everyday lol.

I game almost every night. Unless Ive hammered the gym too hard and just wanna die on the couch. My girlfriend watches a lot of crap on TV so that's when I'd rather smoke a spliff and game, or play guitar, make music etc. However I go through phases of not gaming at all... In the summer I game less as would rather be outside..

I usually get a couple of hours everyday after work. On weekends it can be way more than that. Some days I don't game at all. Depends on my mood, really.

If I'm lucky I'll get a hour or so a week for gaming. Entirely too many things in my life right now and gaming is not a priority. The only exception was FF 15.. I played that game like a crack head for about 2 wks. lol

Daily, and I have a full time job. I'd probably play even more if I didn't have to work, lol. Exercise in the morning, then game the rest of day, that would be a cool life....especially if your significant other loves gaming too.

Unless I can play at least 3 hours consecutively I won't even bother starting a game. Luckily I can still find time to play, though this becomes less and less.

I used to do this, too. But the wife wants more time in the evenings, so now I get up an hour or so earlier than I used to every morning to get some time in.

I usually have a few free hours most evenings after work, how much of that time goes into gaming depends on how into whatever I'm playing at the moment I am.

same goes for weekends but I tend to go on trips a couple times a month that take up a lot of my gaming time on the weekend. I would say I average 15 hours/week with high amounts of variability

I would say about 1 to 2 hours a day. Some days I don't at all depending on how tired I am. I may get up to 5 on the weekends but it all depends on if there's anything out that I'm really into at the moment.

I would like to think that I fit in 15-20 hours a week, more depending if I have nothing planned at all. I like to try and take some time everyday to enjoy my hobby, have a little "me" time and then take one day on the weekend and put in a solid session.

I only really game when I'm home alone, like I'm off or get off work and the wife isn't home yet. Sometimes it's 6-10 hours a week, other times it's none.

I could probably find more productive things to do with my time but right now gaming provides a good break from the monotony of working day in and day out.

Around 15 hours a week on average. It may fluctuate depending on my workload from university or if I'm excited about a game.
