Google recently published the It’s Lit magazine to provide a glimpse into the world of Generation Z (teens) in the U.S. through the lens of what they find cool – an indication of what people pay attention to, what gets them excited and can often act as a manifestation of their hopes and dreams. Pokémon and The Legend of Zelda were chosen by Gen Z as some of the most popular video game franchies. Read on below for more:
Gen Z is the most aware generation in recent history, so it’s no wonder most teen boys see video games as a cool escape from reality. Video games were on top of the coolness scale for boys. They think video games are cool not only for their storylines, wide variety and ability to escape to a virtual reality, but also for the ability to connect with friends. The most popular games among teen boys include:
- The Legend of Zelda
- Call of Duty: Black Ops
- Grand Theft Auto
- Pokémon
- Minecraft
- Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
