The video game emoji shows a handheld game controller with buttons and a directional pad. It represents video games, gaming systems, a gaming session, or gaming culture.
People use it to say they are playing, invite someone online, or talk about a new release. It can also describe treating a situation like a game, while phrases such as "touch grass" may pair with it to tease someone who has been playing far too long.
