The global gaming industry is growing and it’s influencing much more than how we spend our free time. From entertainment to government to healthcare, industries are trying to distill and deploy gaming’s immersive power, as this week’s field guide explains. Sign up for a free 7-day trial of membership to read about gaming’s next level.

- Quartz contributor Mary Pilon’s state-of-play with everything you need to know about the gaming industry and its influence on our lives. (She also reports on the most popular games of 2019 and the companies behind them.)
