Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the lifestyle of peoples has totally changed as everyone wants to stay safe by working from home. At the same time, they have also taken on new activities and hobbies as they spending more time at home. Besides, we have also seen a significant rise in gaming across the globe.

Recently, Entertainment Software Association published a report expecting 214 million gamers are only in the United States. It shows, how gaming has become a fun group activity nowadays, especially for those looking to connect with others. Besides, the report reveals that more than six out of 10 players regularly play with others either online or in person.

However, the rising popularization of gaming is not limited to the US as last year, Facebook’s “Games Marketing Insights for 2021” said that numbers of first-time gamers reached new highs in countries around the world with 8.6 million in the U.K., 6.5 million in Germany, and 9.4 million in South Korea.

During these experiences, Samsung’s internal research data reveals that 35.3 percent of users in the US connected their gaming devices to their QLED TV in March 2021, which is doubled from 19.4 percent in March of 2020. In addition, the number of Korean users almost tripled from 11.4 percent to 27 percent during the same period.

However, the Samsung 65-inch segment has been the most popular TV size for gaming while the high-end models, which feature a 120Hz refresh rate, were more likely to be connected to the latest gaming consoles. This data tells us that Microsoft Xbox and Sony PlayStation gamers like to use premium TVs with enhanced gaming features.

In the context of the popularity of the game, Samsung adjusted the 2021 TV lineup, keeping in mind the hearts of gamers. The company’s latest TV is equipped with top features designed to promote the next level of gaming experience.
