Kristine Jørgensen's research is in game studies. She is interested in player-centered perspectives and has studied player experiences with transgressive game content, player interaction with game interfaces, and player experiences of sound in games. She also has an interest in production and industry studies and has in that context researched the Norwegian game industry. In the period 2015-2019, she was project manager of the research project Games and Transgressive Aesthetics.

Kristine Jørgensen is project manager for the research project Understanding Male Gamers (2023-2028) and a principal investigator in the Norwegian Center for Excellence Center for Digital Narrative (2023-2033). 

She is the co-author of The Paradox of Transgression in Games (with Torill Elvira Mortensen), the author of Gameworld Interfaces and  A Comprehensive Study of Sound in Computer Games: How Audio Affects Player Action, and the co-editor of Transgression in Games and Play (with Faltin Karlsen).
