About Love Island The Game

Players in the game take on the role of a female character entering the Love Island villa. They can personalise and style their character in different ways, but at the heart of the game are compelling narrative stories that allow the player to take their storyline in many directions via choice-based interactions with other characters in the game. Will your character find love and romance? 

To deepen the gaming experience, players can discover additional pathways, exclusive choices and special clothing outfits by utilising in-game monetisation features such as gems, enhancing their journey throughout the Love Island experience.

Each season of the game introduces new characters and storylines but always set in the Love Island sun.

About Love Island

Full of drama, romance, flirting and fun, Love Island sees its occupants living in a stunning villa in a beautiful location. They are on the lookout for romance but as always, the road to love never runs smoothly, as they must not only choose their partner wisely but also win the hearts of the public. It’s up to the viewers to decide who they want to stay in the show as they watch the relationships develop and ultimately which pair they want to crown the hottest couple on the island. 

With over 27 commissions globally, Love Island is a worldwide phenomenon. Love Island USA is the most-streamed original reality competition series in Peacock’s history, and has recently launched the spin-off Love Island Games, where contestants couple up and compete in super-sized classic games and new challenges. Season ten of Love Island UK has been streamed almost 200 million times and last week the show returned to South Africa for the first series of Love Island: All Stars, as familiar faces from the show venture back to TV’s most talked about Villa for a second chance at finding love. 

Love Island is owned by ITV Studios and Motion Content Group Ltd and is distributed internationally by ITV Studios.
