• Playing multiplayer games is associated with studying a physical STEM degree.
• The studying of physical STEM degrees is dependent on level of social deprivation.
• Girls are 58 times less likely to do a physical STEM degree than no degree at all.
• Levels of participation in video gaming can change for girls over a year.
