A new report by CasinoSource.co.uk has revealed which console is the most dangerous to play (due to injuries sustained), and what the most common gaming injuries are.
PlayStation revealed as the most dangerous console!
It’s bad news for PlayStation gamers, as players of these consoles are more likely to gain an injury over any other type of gamer.
The report – which surveyed gamers – asked if they have ever gained an injury during game play.
77% of PlayStation gamers have gained an injury during gameplay, making it the most dangerous console. The top 4 most dangerous consoles can be seen below:
Rank | Console | % of gamers who had experienced an accident whilst playing |

2 | Xbox | 74% |
3 | Nintendo Switch | 73% |
4 | Computer | 69% |
The top 5 most common gaming injuries revealed
When asked what type of injury they gained from playing games, the survey revealed the top 5 gaming related injuries as:
Rank | Gaming Injury | Percentage of gamers who suffer |
1 | Neck strain | 86% |
2 | Headaches and migraines | 84% |
3 | Gamer thumb (tenosynovitis – repetitive use of the thumb) | 41% |
4 | Eye strain | 32% |
5 | Back strain | 20% |
Expert reveals tips to avoid gaming injuries
Long-term gaming can lead to injuries – especially if you don’t do anything to avoid the problem. To help gamers with these common injuries, leading UK physiotherapist Tim Allardyce provides his simple top tips to avoid physical and mental pain and strain:
- Avoid late-night gaming
Late night gaming can affect your circadian rhythm and sleep cycle. It can also place strain on your eyes, so try to finish gaming an hour or so before bed.
- Try to get moving
When gaming, it can be helpful to get up and move every 20-30 mins, to stay mobile and reduce joint pains. Get outside, and if possible, absorb some vitamin D, and enjoy the fresh air.
- Don’t snack and play!
Make time to prepare healthy food, as much as possible. If you do enjoy snacking, make every effort to avoid unhealthy treats (crisps, pizza, take-aways, sweets, biscuits) in favour of fruit and veg. Crucially, it’s also important to drink plenty of water and stay hydrated.
