A new survey out from Neilsen takes a look at video game players who identify LGBTQ+.

The 2020 Neilsen Games 360 survey found that 10 percent of gamers over the age of 18 identified as LGBTQ+ and of the 2,000 LGBTQ+ people over the age of 13 surveyed, 40 percent identify as gay or lesbian, 50 percent identify as bisexual, and 10 percent identify as transgender or non-binary.

So which video game consoles do LGBTQ gamers prefer?

PlayStation wins with 38% of queer players preferring it to other consoles. Xbox is in the second position with 22%, and Nintendo consoles came at 19%.
