Why OAPs love Gran Theft Auto

FORGET bingo and gardening – pensioners are spending more than eight hours playing video games every week.

Candy Crush was the top game among 2,000 old folk in a study, followed by Tetris.

FIFA came in the third spot, and shoot-’em-up Call Of Duty was fourth.

Other top choices were Grand Theft Auto and Fortnite.

David Collins, 68, of Harrow, North London, said that gaming had helped keep him in touch with his two grandchildren.

He said: ‘I’ve been playing FIFA and Fortnite online with my two grandkids. It’s great fun.

‘The wife thinks it’s a bit odd, but even she has started playing when the grandkids are on.’
