Immersive Ads
Over the last few years, Roblox has been actively experimenting with immersive ads, allowing developers to insert video ads into their virtual worlds. The company’s latest insight and measurement metrics indicate that Roblox users are noticing and receiving more positively to brands on the platform compared to other places.
Additionally, according to a recent survey conducted by Latitude, 78% of Roblox users enjoy immersive video experiences from brands, especially when these experiences are complemented by in-game content such as avatars, costumes, and items of brands. Furthermore, these video ads are immersive and do not disturb player experience in the same way that traditional in-game ads (banner/image ads, nonintrinsic ads – watch the video to continue the game) might.
Currently, immersive ads within Roblox’s 3D virtual environment are an experimental feature, and there are a limited number of them on the platform. However, the company indicates that it will continue experimenting with video ads on its metaverse to assess the impact of that initiative.
