The overall goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of gaming to improve functioning and clinical outcomes in people with psychotic disorders. Feasibility of the intervention will also be assessed. Our hypothesis are as follows: Primary hypothesis: 1. Gaming is more effective on improving functioning 3- and/or 6-months follow-ups comparing to usual practices (TAU). Secondary hypotheses: 2. Gaming is more effective on improving clinical outcomes and treatment acceptance (symptoms, self-efficacy, the quality of life, drop-out from intervention) at 3-and/or 6-months comparing to usual practices (TAU). 3. Gaming do not cause more adverse effects up to 6 months, especially aggression at 3-and/or 6-months follow-ups comparing to usual practices (TAU). The effectiveness of the gaming will be assessed using a controlled clinical trial with a pragmatic, multi-center, two-arms parallel-group design. Feasibility will also be assessed.
