What Families Need to Know About Video Games and Well-Being
Raising Good Gamers (RGG), a Games for Change initiative, provides research-backed tools and resources to help families engage with gaming confidently and constructively.
Video games are now a central part of family life. More than 3 billion people play worldwide. The 2025 Essential Facts report from the Entertainment Software Association stated that 83% of U.S. households have played at least one video game device in the last 12 months. But the conversation around gaming is dominated by fear, and parents looking for clear, reliable guidance struggle to find it.
The white paper, ‘Raising Good Gamers: What Families Need to Know About Video Games and Well-Being,’ from Games for Change Research Director Dr. Rachel Kowert, weighs that conversation against the evidence, drawing on an analysis of nearly 200,000 articles and posts across 15 countries, and gives families a grounded way to think about the games in their kids’ lives. See what the research actually says, and download the paper plus hands-on resources: a family conversation guide, a family code of conduct, and the SPACE framework.
