This study aims to analyze the relationship between the intensity of playing the online game Mobile Legends and the consumptive behavior of university students at Universitas PGRI Ronggolawe Tuban. The research was motivated by the growing phenomenon of digital consumption among students, particularly through virtual item purchases via microtransactions. A quantitative correlational approach was employed, using purposive sampling involving 40 active student players of Mobile Legends. Research instruments consisted of Likert-scale questionnaires measuring two main variables: gaming intensity (frequency and duration) and consumptive behavior (impulsive buying, wastefulness, and non-rational consumption). Data were analyzed using Spearman’s rho correlation test, revealing a positive and significant relationship between gaming intensity and consumptive behavior (r = 0.558; p < 0.05). These findings indicate that higher gaming intensity increases students’ tendency toward hedonic and symbolic digital consumption. The study highlights that students’ consumptive behavior in the digital era is shaped not only by economic factors but also by social influence, self-control, and emotional gratification. The research implies the need for enhanced digital financial literacy and self-regulation awareness among students to mitigate excessive consumptive behavior.
