binge-playing
Nonstop gaming session
Binge-playing is playing a video game or series of games in extended, marathon sessions—hours at a stretch, often neglecting sleep, meals, or responsibilities.
Modeled on binge-watching, it captures the compulsive quality of modern entertainment consumption: I spent the whole weekend binge-playing the new Zelda.
