We examined how game genre, multiplayer capability, and platform relate to GD tendencies assessed using both APA (DSM-5) and WHO (ICD-11) frameworks in a large international sample of gamers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We analyzed cross-sectional online data from 116,047 gamers. Participants completed validated measures of GD symptoms aligned with DSM-5 and ICD-11 and reported the genre, multiplayer capability, and platform of their currently preferred game. Associations were examined using bivariate and multivariate analyses. We additionally applied a Random Forest model to evaluate the predictive contribution of game-related variables to GD scores.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      GD levels were highest among participants preferring games with multiplayer capabilities, while positive associations with shooter and casual games were particularly evident among console users. In contrast, puzzle, platformer, and board games showed negative associations with GD scores. Players preferring desktop or laptop computers reported higher GD scores than those favoring consoles or small devices. In Random Forest models, game genre and multiplayer capability were modestly predictive of GD scores (\n                      <jats:italic>R<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2248 .08\u2013.15) with predictive accuracy being higher for participants who used console and desktop computers and lowest among small-device users.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Multiplayer capability and preferred genre were consistently related to GD tendencies across DSM-5 and ICD-11 measures.
