The Philippines is a rapidly growing gaming market, with over 43 million active online gamers, a 13% annual growth, according to a 2021 YCP Solidiance study. The majority of gamers are Gen Zs and millennials aged 25-34, with a significant number aged 55 and above. Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) is the most popular game, with over 5.4 million daily users as of August 2023.
