The battle against sexism in video games has indeed seen progress; however, the industry is far from achieving its goal. Efforts have been made through the portrayal of empowered female protagonists and the reduction of gender stereotypes in game narratives. Nonetheless, these actions scratch the surface of a deeper, ingrained issue.

Comprehensive strategies that include educational programming, community guidelines, and support for affected players are crucial next steps.
