In this study, it was aimed to examine the digital games that preschool children mostly play. In the study designed qualitatively, the document review method was adopted, and situation approach was preferred. 114 mothers with preschool children were interviewed, and the seven games that the children played the most were determined. These designated games were evaluated in terms of game tag, type, development process, scenario/story, psychology, space, character and visual design, mechanics, sound and music characteristics, camera angle, playability and levels, interface, animation, and other object and unit characteristics. The digital games that preschoolers often play were simulation, role-playing, action-adventure, platform, and first-person games. Each game had a unique scenario and way of progress. The games were built on accomplishing certain tasks. In the games, there were intriguing characters, space, and visual designs, and also a harmony of sound and music, mechanics that allow to play. It has been seen that the levels provide playability and progress from simple to difficult in games where the side-scrolling camera view is generally used. It has been seen that various interfaces, animations, and other objects in the game contribute to keeping the player in the game.
