On the 2 July, an esports center called ISR Esports aimed to open center for senior citizens in Kobe, Japan. It will only cater to people who are aged 60 years old and above. The establishment is open to those who have never played a video game before, with staff on hand to help.
It’s open to anyone who has never played a video game before. First, seniors will be introduced to some basic gaming experiences, so they can understand the mechanics of gaming, then, they can play, what ISR Esports called, “full-blown esports titles.”ISR Esports says it’ll follow the guidelines of protection and prevention regarding the coronavirus, considering that people 65 years and older are at higher risk.

The Japanese woman only got started on the gaming journey 39 years ago at the older-than-usual age of 51, and has never looked back since, rolling out one video after another to finally receive one of the most coveted honours: a place in the Guinness World Records, as the oldest video game creator on YouTube.
