The main purpose of the research is to determine the elements which conflict with the religious and moral rules and feed Islamophobic perception in digital games. When digital games are analysed, many Islamophobic samples are determined. It has been seen that these elements are secretly or clearly revealed in games. When viewed specifically in the religion of Islam, it has been determined that the conditions that need to be completed, and the actions that must be done to pass the section during games are the issues that contain Islamophobic issues. In the paper, it has been tried to evaluate the effects of the Islamophobic samples in games on the socialization of the users, whether they are unrealistic perceptions, and how these elements feed the Islamophobic perception.
