The widespread use of online games among students is a growing concern due to its potential to influence their character development. Many students spend extensive time playing games, which influences their daily attitudes and behaviors in various ways, both positive and negative. This practical issue emphasizes the importance of conducting comprehensive research to determine how online games influence students' character development, including self-control, discipline, cooperation, responsibility, and honesty. Using a quantitative approach, this study collected data through surveys and questionnaires involving several students as respondents. Data were gathered via questionnaires assessing the intensity of online gaming and various facets of character development. The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of online games on the character development of 10th-grade students at Astra Nawa Vocational High School. This study will clarify the role of online games as an alternative learning medium that can positively shape students' character development if managed properly. The implication of this research is the need for appropriate supervision and training so that the use of online games can support the development of balanced student character development in the educational environment.
