1. Helps people overcome Dyslexia: The reason, researchers believe this is because the games have constant changing environments that require intense focus. Strengthening their mind to overcome it.

2. Video Games can improve peoples vision: “Don’t sit too close to the television” is often used by parents and although being to close to the screen can be bad, but the right amount can help improve eyesight from farther distances.

3. More Psychical: even video games requiring a simple controller can lead to physical activity. Sports games that involve basketball, baseball, and even skateboarding can lead to children practicing those same skills outdoors.

4. You’ll make faster decisions:  Because new information is constantly being displayed during play, players are forced to adapt quickly. In one study, players who were immersed in fast-paced games were 25 percent faster in reacting to questions about an image they had just seen compared to non-players.

5. Improve Social skills: In today’s world, you can gather with friends, bond over a game, or even play with thousands of others online. Grab a headset, join a conversation even if its just about the game.
