Soon also advertising in PlayStation games
After Netflix speculated about advertising, can you expect it in games from PlayStation?
The new holy word seems to be advertising. Years ago, unthinkable within a streaming service or game. Today we just have to think it’s normal. This week it was announced that Netflix is looking at the possibility to apply advertising within the service. Sony may be planning something similar with PlayStation. Insider reports about this.
Advertising in free games on PlayStation
Don’t worry, you shouldn’t expect any advertising in paid games. This is advertising in free-to-play games. In this way, developers can earn even more from a game in addition to in-game purchases. At least that’s the thinking behind it. In this way, the developer should be motivated to offer more games in this way.
The gamer should also be better helped with this. Because, more free games means more opportunities to try out a game. For a game for which you have to pay 10, 20, 30 euros or more, you first think carefully. You can try a free game and always judge afterwards whether you enjoy it or not. You just have to take the advertising for granted.
The question is, of course, how Sony will shape advertising in free-to-play PlayStation games. Advertisements that appear on the screen and you have to push yourself away, or an advertisement in the game world you play in? We will see.
