Casual Player

A casual player plays mainly for fun and relaxation rather than to compete at a high level. They tend to play in shorter, irregular sessions, favor relaxed modes over ranked grinding, and care less about optimizing every detail of the game.

It is the opposite of a hardcore player, who invests heavily in mastery and competition. Neither label is better — they simply describe different goals. Casual players still spend money and value convenience, so they make up a large share of buyers who pick up an account to skip a tedious early grind and jump straight to the parts of a game they enjoy.
