his study investigates changes in online gaming behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic, applying video game uses and gratifications theory to analyze young adults’ gaming motivations. We explore the popularity of specific gratifications amid the crisis and propose a novel gratification, commitment, that may affect gaming choices. Results showcase a possible link between some players who self-report tenuous or low emotional and mental well-being and certain video game gratifications, like competition and diversion. Our findings suggest commitment may influence some players’ willingness to pursue social and competitive gratifications, especially if they are more willing to identify as a gamer
