Women stand out by representing 51% of the gamer audience in Brazil

The female audience is increasingly conquering its space in several areas, including the world of games. Women are changing the perception that playing video games is for men and that they don’t have the skills to do so. Although this scenario is changing, there is still a lot of resistance from the male audience to recognize female ability, agility and intelligence for games.

What do the Game Brasil Survey data show?

The data speaks for itself and shows that women are dominating the gaming world. According to the Game Brazil Survey (PGB), women are already the majority in the gamer audience in Brazil, representing 51% of electronic game players in the country, while men 49%.

The research also points out that the smartphone is the most used platform by Brazilians for games and women also dominate this scenario with 60.4%. Now in relation to games for console and computer, the female audience still does not surpass men, they have preference with 63.9% and women with 58.9%.

In summary, the data show the relevance of these numbers and confirm that the female audience has already gained space, standing out and showing their skills in an area that has always been dominated by men.

Although they still suffer prejudice and resistance, the trend is that with the passage of time, female strength and talent is more recognized in the world of games. After all, entertainment is for everyone, regardless of gender.

Gamers who are great references

Women who play or produce content on the subject still suffer harassment, insults and sexist comments in chats during matches or on their social networks. Many men do not recognize the female capacity for games and even doubt that, behind the screen, there is in fact a woman, with the controller in her hands dominating a game.

Therefore, it is of great importance to know great examples of female power in the world of games. A great professional player is Amanda Abreu, from Havan Liberty, a Brazilian esports organization. She was the female Counter-Strike world champion, standing out as the 5 biggest female representatives in the Brazilian gaming market.

Another visible female force is Brazilian gamer Juliana Maransaldi. The professional player, hired by the North American Dignitas Female, was the first Brazilian gamer to compose a team to participate in a competition abroad.
