Among the Southeast Asian countries covered, the Philippines tied with Malaysia on the second spot. Vietnamese Gen Z youth were most reliant on gaming, with 60 percent of them using it as a stress or anxiety reliever. Forty-nine percent of South Korean Gen Z youth consider gaming as their reliever, while those Indonesia and Singapore were tied at 47 percent for the same demographic and purpose.
This is actually pretty high because the question isnt why they play games. The question was what do they do to relieve anxiety and stress; so this was in comparison to talking to family and/or friends.
