The challenge facing the current educational system is to introduce game-based approaches to stimulate improved student performance. A comprehensive analysis on the implementation of gamification was carried out with the aim of exploring in detail how gamification was employed to increase motivation in university students in Latin America-period 2020 to 2023. The study is framed in a descriptive approach, performing a systematic review of scientific articles from journals indexed in Scopus and WOS, applying search formulas with Boléan connectors, in addition to the inclusion criteria: studies in Latin America from 2020 to 2023 and as exclusion criteria articles that do not relate gamification with the motivation of university students. A total of 1140 articles were found, selecting 37 articles that met the indicated criteria. The findings reveal that the use of gamification as a teaching strategy can motivate and improve student learning.
