- In a major poll, fans were asked which game mode they prefer, and nearly 1 million players voted for the single-player game mode.
- Around 250k players voted for the multiplayer game mode, which shows the fandom prefers single-player titles.
- This is because the community in almost every single multiplayer game is very toxic, and players want to avoid that.
There has long been a debate about whether single-player games are more popular than multiplayer games and what fans prefer. While there is a massive fandom that plays multiplayer games on a daily basis, it appears that there are more players for single-player games.
That is because not everyone has time to grind for multiplayer games. Another reason is that there are many try-hards in such games who just ruin the experience for other players. So, ultimately, single-player games have been preferred over multiplayer ones.
To prove this point, in a massive poll, over 70% players have chosen single-player mode as their preferred one.
Why it matters: Single-player games are available in a massive quantity, and most players choose this genre to escape reality after having a long day.
FaulesGaming on YouTube recently posted a poll asking fans which game mode they play the most. Unsurprisingly, the majority of the votes are allocated to single-player games. Only 20% are allocated in the multiplayer mode, 5% is Co-op, and only 2% in battle royale.
It is worth noting that the poll has garnered over 1.3 million votes. So, using this as the basis to universally consider what fans prefer is reasonable.
Single Player games are the best. Especially bc you don’t have to deal with toxic players.
The older I get the more I start to appreciate Single Player games.
Single player feels more like playing in your own story with your own character, so that’s why I choose single player often.
-Fans
Fans have clearly demonstrated their appreciation for single-player games, as they want to enjoy the game without having to deal with toxic online players. It is true that the multiplayer games’ lobby is filled with toxic players, which can be mentally exhausting for some people, especially those who are more focused on practical life.
That being said, both genres are pretty enjoyable, and gamers should play whatever they feel like playing.
