The gaming journey started decades ago, beginning with simple video games and evolving into flexible mobile games that are accessible everywhere and at any time. This review assesses gaming addiction in terms of risk factors and psychosocial consequences. Gaming disorder is a term used to describe a behavioral condition related to abnormal gaming usage. It is now formally acknowledged as a clinical condition by major international diagnostic classifications. Furthermore, gaming addiction is an escalating global problem that affects various aspects of individuals' lives. Multiple intrinsic and extrinsic factors influence the likelihood of developing gaming addiction. Intrinsic factors include being young, male, or having a pre-existing psychological condition. Extrinsic factors include peer influence and exposure to social media. Moreover, various consequences of gaming disorder can lead to harmful events, either to oneself or others. Suicide is one of the most serious complications, alongside self-harm, homicide, or violent behavior toward others. In addition, neuropsychological effects can play a major role in life dysfunction, impairing learning capabilities and causing memory loss.
