The connection behind the game
Why connection matters.
Three short research case studies behind our focus on enjoyable play and connection. These are independent studies, not Player Two customer stories.
Staying apart.
Playing together.
75% of UK online children aged 5–15 played online games in 2020.
Ofcom described gaming as a way to chat with friends while apart. Over half of gamers also said it helped them through lockdown.
Ofcom · Online Nation 2021 ↗Different survey populations; self-reported coping is not a clinical outcome.Different countries.
Same team.
Two small interview studies found gaming could help expats and migrants maintain friendships back home and share emotional support.
10 interviews in each study

Feel the connection.
3,270+players · two games · Oxford research
An Oxford study found that players who genuinely enjoyed gaming reported more positive wellbeing. Enjoyment, motivation and connection were important parts of the experience.
Our takeaway: enjoyable sessions, shared progress and a sense of belonging.
University of Oxford · 2020 ↗An association, not proof of treatment. Later research found little evidence that more play time itself improves wellbeing.Help shape something goodYour next game
