Badania wykazują, że gry wideo pomagają wzmocnić romantyczne związki

An interesting discovery suggests that gaming together can have a positive impact on romantic relationships. According to British columnist Keith Stuart from The Guardian, more couples are spending quality time together in games like GTA Online, Resident Evil, and others.

For instance, on a recent episode of the radio show Woman's Hour, a listener shared how video games helped her bond with her future husband — they even spent their honeymoon playing Borderlands 2 to save money for a house down payment. Stuart also noted that many of his friends met their partners in online games and continue to play together regularly.

Interestingly, survival horror games like Resident Evil and Silent Hill are popular among couples. Even though they are single-player games, partners often play them together by taking turns or providing emotional support while exploring scary locations. Stuart also referenced psychologist Ellie Finch, who highlighted Minecraft as a potential tool for family therapy.

The social aspect plays a significant role too — games like Final Fantasy XIV Online and GTA Online are often used as dating platforms and have helped many people find real-life partners. Meanwhile, couples frequently enjoy relaxing together in games like Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, Blue Prince, and Split Fiction. These titles help break down emotional barriers, save time on traditional dates, and allow couples to get to know each other more deeply.
