While most evolutionary game models focus on the evolution of strategies for a fixed game, how strategic decisions coevolve with the environment has so far mostly been overlooked. Here, we consider a game selection model where not only the strategies but also the game can change over time following evolutionary principles. Our results show that coevolutionary dynamics of games and strategies can induce novel collective phenomena, fostering the emergence of cooperative environments. When the model is taken on structured populations the architecture of the interaction network can significantly amplify pro-social behavior, with a critical role played by network heterogeneity and the presence of clustered groups of similar players, distinctive features observed in real-world populations. By unveiling the link between the evolution of strategies and games for different structured populations, our model sheds new light on the origin of social dilemmas ubiquitously observed in real-world social systems. 000144580 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/E36-23R-FENOL$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PID2020-113582GB-I00$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/NextGenerationEU/E63-C22-0021-20006 000144580 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 000144580 590__ $$a2.4$$b2024 000144580 592__ $$a0.705$$b2024 000144580 591__ $$aPHYSICS, MATHEMATICAL$$b13 / 61 = 0.213$$c2024$$dQ1$$eT1 000144580 593__ $$aCondensed Matter Physics$$c2024$$dQ2 000144580 591__ $$aPHYSICS, FLUIDS & PLASMAS$$b17 / 41 = 0.415$$c2024$$dQ2$$eT2 000144580 593__ $$aStatistics and Probability$$c2024$$dQ2 000144580 593__ $$aStatistical and Nonlinear Physics$$c2024$$dQ2 000144580 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000144580 700__ $$aCivilini, Andrea 000144580 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0001-5204-1937$$aGómez-Gardeñes, Jesús$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000144580 700__ $$aLatora, Vito 000144580 700__ $$aBattiston, Federico 000144580 7102_ $$12003$$2395$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
