One mum is calling on the video game to be banned because she believes she’s ‘lost’ her 10-year-old son to it.

Leo appeared alongside his mum, Suzanne, on ITV‘s This Morning as she told hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby he now finds ‘normal life boring by comparison’, and said his moods had changed since he started playing the game.

There’s been a huge move to mobile devices in recent times, with Nintendo announcing last month Mario Kart would be coming to our smartphones.

According to a report by SuperData Research in 2016, mobile games generated $41 billion in revenue, retail games generated $26 billion, and free-to-play online games came in at $19 billion.

The number of smart phone users increases with each year, while mobile revenue has overtaken games console revenue since 2015.
