Recommendations for Industry: Digital Gaming & Social Interactions

Jun 2024

These recommendations for game developers and platforms are based on the findings in our Pulse Survey: Digital Gaming and Social Interaction that show while gaming is a highly social activity, there is room for improvement when it comes to providing positive, enjoyable, and fulfilling interactions for young users.
