As Virtual Reality games started gaining popularity with the masses, growing addiction to these games was quite typical. Research has shown that technological advancements such as social media can result in addiction [1], and VR gaming is no exception to this. Therefore, suitable measures need to be taken to deal with such addictions. The objective of this research is to investigate and identify the negative impacts of Virtual Reality gaming addiction and study ways in which this addiction can be treated. This research has used primary and secondary data collection methods such as digital search and surveys. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected to understand VR gaming addiction, to find out why such games are addictive, what are the impacts of such addiction and whether any measures are taken to solve this problem. The research clearly identified that there is very minimal work that has been done in dealing with VR gaming addiction and therefore has proposed solutions to deal with VR gaming addiction.
