The findings resulting from this research are in the form of video games that are played by many students and can add to students' English vocabulary, namely video games in the form of online games such as Clash of Clans, RPG Toran online, and PC games in the form of FIFA 23. These games can help students improve vocabulary. English words through the hint language and the notifications that are in it. However, this method has a weakness in the form of unorganized vocabulary that students learn through video games and each student has a different level of vocabulary mastery according to the video game he likes.
