Microsoft is considering making another run at in-game ads, report citing multiple sources.

As spotted by VGC, the outlet reports that Microsoft is looking at integrating ads for real-world products in free-to-play titles.

Initially, the Xbox maker would not take a cut of the revenue developers raise with such ads, and would only allow ads from selected brands so as to ensure efforts don't disrupt the gameplay experience.

Hopefully, the ads on free Xbox games won't be annoying, and make the game unenjoyable to play.

Been reading this, not sure why its news since most games are like that anyways?

Ads on billboards or posters in open-world games? Not a huge problem for me. Ads coming up and stopping me from playing the game? That's a huge no-no for me.

Same, if that happens the game is getting trashed.

Looks like Sony has the same idea, not shocked.

Ads are going to spread everywhere, aren't they? It's a shame really, especially when you're already paying for something. Wonder how long before we get ads inside ambulances

That's when I kill myself mid drive to the hospital

Maybe you guys will get a free ride to the hospital if it's supported by ads rather than having to pay thousands for it

Uggh, true, ambulances are outrageous.

I agree with Microsoft doing this because it can definitely bring in more revenue for the company
