The adaptation of teaching and learning has been massively shifted since the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the presence of COVID-19, the 21st-century generation has closely lived with technology in their daily life (Chaudron, 2015; Matsumoto, et.al, 2016; Edwards, 2018), from watching cartoons on television and playing mobile games to engaging in educational games provided in educational contexts. Children, as young as 0 to 8 years old have already been in contact with digital technologies (Marsh et.al., 2005; Matsumoto et.al., 2016). This current systematic review aims to explore the development of digital play and digital games-based learning used in the context of ECE (Early Childhood Education) during COVID-19 to post-pandemic (2023). The review follows the guidance by Zawacki-Richter, et.al (2020) that consists of eight steps: development of research question(s), designation of a conceptual framework, construction of selection criteria, development of a search strategy, selection studies based on inclusion criteria, assessment on the quality of studies, synthesize the quality of individual studies to answer research questions and write report findings. Results show that the used of digital play and/or digital games-based learning in ECE have been varied depending on the learning objectives and the ECE contexts (curriculum and socio-cultural aspects). Digital play has shown to be more explorative and mostly common to be found in the home setting with less supervision from adults, and less in the classroom context with adult-led activities.
