Abstract
This article explores the concept of gamified identities, focusing on how digital games and interactive platforms enable users to create, modify, and express their identities in virtual environments. Gamified identities are increasingly relevant in the context of online learning, social media, and virtual communities, where engagement, motivation, and self-expression intersect. The study examines theoretical frameworks underlying gamification, the psychological and social impact of identity customization, and practical applications in education, workplace training, and digital culture. It highlights the potential of gamified identities to enhance user engagement, foster creativity, and support personalized learning experiences, while addressing ethical considerations, identity security, and digital wellbeing.
