In-ad game demos allow users to play a virtualized demo of a game for up to two minutes.
– Benefits:• Compelling opening experience• Very engaging since the user gets to experience actual
game play• Video ad space is already being priced at a premium, so
these ads can bring an even higher ROI
– Potential Challenges:• Potential for lag because the format requires a fast
connection with low latency• Data usage could be a concern for users
