Solsten: Players are becoming more altruistic in uncertain times

Audience intelligence platform Solsten surveyed over 500,000 players globally to gather data on the psychological traits, hopes and pain points of gamers.

Of the 279 personality traits assessed, the vast majority (87%) saw no statistically significant changes. This is expected since personality traits tend to stay stable over time. This means changes in personality traits — especially over this large of a sample — signal a major audience shift. Solsten suggests societal and economic disruptions, as well as an influx of 300 million more players, drove these annual changes.
