Abstract

In today's digital age, online gaming, particularly Player Unknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG), has become increasingly popular among students. However, there are growing concerns about the potential impact of PUBG on students' academic performance and overall health. The purpose of the study is to investigate the difference in the academic performance of the students, who play PUBG game and those who do not play PUBG game. This survey study used a quantitative methodology, focusing on students from Army Public Schools (APS) in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. A sample of 100 students, comprising 50 students from class 9th (25 PUBG players and 25 non-PUBG players) and 50 students from class 10th (25 PUBG players and 25 non-PUBG players), were selected for the study. The result of the study revealed that there is a significant difference between PUBG players and non-PUBG players with reference to academic achievement but also very surprising. The findings of this study provided valuable insights into the impact of PUBG gaming on students' academic performance. The results may help educators, parents, and policymakers develop strategies to support students in balancing their gaming activities with educational responsibilities effectively.
