Abstract: Playing video games is now considered one of the day-to-day activities of many adolescents and young people. This research studies the gender impact on video game participation and perspectives among college students in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The data were collected by first conducting discussions involving four focus groups with a total of 26 participants to explore the topic. An online questionnaire was then distributed, and a total of 2,756 responses were received. The analysis of the data shows a clear impact of gender on the playing practices adopted, perceptions towards the pros and cons of video games, and the most used consoles and popular games. However, the practices and perspectives of male and female players did not differ regarding bullying in video games. The findings of this study can advance the understanding of this subject, and game developers who are targeting the KSA game market can use the results as the basis for developing games that are more suitable for the players in that country.
