PlayStation has made an “ultimate list” of video game words, and it’s quite impressive
When you think of video games and words, a daily puzzler like Wordle or Knotwords probably comes to mind. In reality, gaming as a medium is full of jargon that would likely be lost on those who don’t play. There are tons of terms that long-time players might not have come across either.
