Abstract

This bibliometric analysis investigates mobile technology integration in game-based learning (GBL) through 1,067 Scopus-indexed documents (2015–2024). Following PRISMA guidelines, we map publication trends, influential contributors, and thematic patterns in mobile GBL research. The analysis revealed a consistent annual growth rate of 1.75% in mobile GBL research, underscoring its increasing significance. Key findings highlight the pivotal role of journals such as Computers and Education and the effectiveness of mobile GBL in improving learning outcomes through interactivity, personalization, and contextual rele-vance. The study advocates for broader adoption of mobile GBL and further research to fully harness its transformative potential in education. © 2025 by the authors of this article.
