<![CDATA[This study aims to determine the relationship between the intensity of playing online games and the narrative writing skills of sixth-grade students at State Elementary School 138 Pekanbaru. The study was conducted at SDN 138 Pekanbaru in February 2026 with the population of this study being all sixth-grade students, while the research sample taken was 47 students. Sampling was carried out using a simple random sampling technique. The research instrument used to collect data was a questionnaire sheet to measure the variable of the intensity of playing online games and a written test instrument in the form of creating a narrative text on a certain theme to measure the writing skill variable. The tools and techniques of data analysis in this correlational quantitative study used descriptive statistics, analysis prerequisite tests (normality test and linearity test), and Pearson Product Moment correlation test assisted by the IBM SPSS Statistics program. The results of the descriptive statistical study showed that the intensity of playing online games of sixth-grade students was on average in the moderate category of 62.26%. Meanwhile, the results of the assessment of students' narrative writing skills were also mostly in the moderate category of 61.70%. The results of the correlation test analysis showed a correlation coefficient value of r count of 0.317 with a sig value of 0.222. Because the sig value is greater than 0.05 (0.222 > 0.05), it can be concluded that there is no significant relationship or correlation between the intensity of playing online games and narrative writing skills in grade VI students of SDN 138 Pekanbaru, with the strength of the relationship between variables being relatively low.]]>
