Mobile game-based learning is an effective tool for combining learning and motivation, since teaching is a basic component of games. This research focuses on contribution of MGBL in achieve EFL learners vocabulary mastery and motivation in learning English. A systematic literature review that was carried out utilizing numerous sources of literature and database that are qualified in Scopus index with total of 15 Journal articles were collected and analyzed carefully. The findings show that MGBL has significant contribution toward EFL learners’ vocabulary mastery; enhances motivation and long-term memory. The impact of this research is crucial for achieve a harmonious equilibrium between the use of MGBL and the specific requirements of English as Foreign Language (EFL) learners. In doing so, it is imperative that the incorporation of such learning tools aligns with the established curriculum, thereby guaranteeing optimal results for those seeking to acquire language proficiency.
