It discusses technical challenges, user acceptance, and the future potential of AR in mobile gaming.</p><p>This study examines the role of social influence in mobile game engagement, focusing on how peer behavior, social norms, and social comparison processes shape player motivations and in-game actions. By drawing on social psychology and network theory, the paper investigates how players' social circles, including friends, family, and online communities, influence their gaming habits, preferences, and spending behavior. The research explores how mobile games leverage social influence through features such as social media integration, leaderboards, and team-based gameplay. The study also examines the ethical implications of using social influence techniques in game design, particularly regarding manipulation, peer pressure, and the potential for social exclusion.</p><p>This research investigates the role of user experience (UX) design in mobile gaming, focusing on how players from different cultural backgrounds interact with mobile games and perceive gameplay elements. The study compares UX design preferences and usability testing results from players in various regions, such as North America, Europe, and Asia. By applying cross-cultural psychology and design theory, the paper analyzes how cultural values, technological literacy, and gaming traditions influence player engagement, satisfaction, and learning outcomes in mobile games. The research provides actionable insights into how UX designers can tailor game interfaces, mechanics, and narratives to better suit diverse global audiences.</p><p>This paper explores the use of mobile games as educational tools, assessing their effectiveness in teaching various subjects and skills. It discusses the advantages and limitations of game-based learning in mobile contexts.</p><p>This paper critically analyzes the role of mobile gaming in reinforcing or challenging socioeconomic stratification, particularly in developing and emerging markets. It examines how factors such as access to mobile devices, internet connectivity, and disposable income create disparities in the ability to participate in the mobile gaming ecosystem. The study draws upon theories of digital inequality and explores how mobile games both reflect and perpetuate existing social and economic divides, while also investigating the potential of mobile gaming to serve as a democratizing force, providing access to entertainment, education, and social connection for underserved populations.</p> <p> <a
