Earlier this year EA confirmed it is thinking about putting adverts in AAA games and has spoken about wanting to use AI more in the development process.
During a recent earnings call, EA CEO Andrew Wilson was asked about the chance of more “dynamic ad insertion across more traditional AAA games”, with Wilson explaining that the studio currently has internal teams “looking at how we do very thoughtful implementations inside of our game experiences.” (via PC Gamer).
“As we think about the many, many billions of hours spent, both playing, creating, watching and connecting and where much of that engagement happens to be on the bounds of a traditional game experience, our expectation is that advertising has an opportunity to be a meaningful driver of growth for us,” he added.
