This article aims to examine the moral capacities of computer games in three dimensions: cognitive (insight), affective (inclination), and behavioral (action). Using a descriptive-analytical method and a qualitative approach, it analyzes the moral capacities of computer games as a powerful medium in shaping players’ moral insights, emotions, and behaviors. The research population includes prominent examples of popular and acclaimed computer games such as *The Last of Us*, *Papers, Please*, *Detroit: Become Human*, and *This War of Mine*, selected for their complex storytelling, challenging moral choices, and rich interactive environments. The findings show that computer games, through various mechanisms such as layered storytelling, the consequences of players’ choices, social interactions, and the design of immersive environments, can actively participate in the process of moral learning. These games place players in difficult moral situations and allow them to directly observe the consequences of their actions. This experience not only creates a deeper understanding of moral concepts but also helps strengthen skills such as empathy, responsibility, and critical thinking. Finally, it is concluded that computer games, far from mere entertainment, are a valuable tool for moral education and the development of moral insights, and their conscious and responsible use can lead to nurturing a generation with a stronger moral understanding.
