ABSTRACT

Background:

With the global games industry booming, the pervasive game form of games is also emerging as a game style. How pervasive games can adapt to the ever-changing nature of technology and design in modern society requires a comprehensive review.

Objective:

In this systematic review, four dimensions of pervasive games are measured and analyzed through development, technology, experience, and evaluation.

Methods:

Based on Web of Science, Scopus, and EBSCO, systematic searches up to May 2022 identified 40 studies.

Results:

After categorization and analysis, it was found that all articles were classified according to four main themes, which are design and development (11 articles), interaction and technology (15 articles), users and experience (9 articles), and evaluation and service (5 articles). These four main areas can be subdivided into smaller areas.

Conclusions:

Although the development and technology of pervasive games have evolved with the times, there is still a need to strengthen emerging design concepts within pervasive games.
