The Pelaajabarometri 2024 (Player Barometer 2024) report, published by Tampere University, examines the gaming habits, active play, and game preferences of the Finnish population aged 10–75. The 2024 study highlights a resurgence in social and face-to-face tabletop/board gaming alongside stabilised post-pandemic digital media consumption. While digital and mobile games remain highly popular across all age demographics, the report finds shifting boundaries between active digital play, gambling behaviour, money spent on free-to-play mechanics, and non-digital social games. Additionally, it evaluates the prevalence of problematic gaming behaviour, showing that approximately 14% of players experience occasional control issues.
