  This research discusses how to utilise digital gaming to support the
well-being of its users and sustain their physical and mental health during the
COVID-19 lockdown in which people's activities are limited. The published
academic literature that is written in English and available for access on
online databases was reviewed to develop key take-aways and a framework for
discussing how to enhance people's well-being in the COVID-19 lockdown.
Interaction with other players in virtual communities has been found to have a
positive influence on the mental health of those suffering from a lack of
societal connection. A framework for further research has also been developed
that focuses on the critical situation of the COVID-19 lockdown,as this is an
urgent topic with a huge impact on our health.Some gaming service providers
have been proactive in redesigning game programming to be suitable for the
lockdown situation, and this enables players to enjoy physical activities even
at home.
