For neurodivergent Gen Z, video games offer more than just fun they provide structure, identity control, and instant feedback in a world that often feels chaotic and unclear. Unlike real life, where social cues are vague and success is slow, games offer predictable systems, safe spaces for self-expression, and rewarding progress you can see and feel.

As the first fully digital-native generation, Gen Z is teaching us something powerful: when designed with clarity, choice, and rewards, virtual worlds become places where neurodiverse minds don’t just escape but thrive.
