LinkedIn, the social network owned by Microsoft, is known for being a network used by professionals and anyone who wants to consolidate their work knowledge.
But, like generalist competition, the need is to increase the time spent by users online.
For this reason, according to some rumors later confirmed by a company spokesperson, LinkedIn will soon launch a section dedicated to video games.
Nothing too complex or artificial but a series of pastimes to get members to disconnect and create personalized challenges even within the same company you work for.
As Techcrunch, which contacted the social network, writes, the initiative is being finalized but without a precise launch date.
At least three games are on the table, "Queens", "Inference" and "Crossclimb", which will allow you to play both as a single user and as part of a larger team, possibly created within the same workplace.
An app developer, Nima Owji, identified game screens that feature personal and group scores, a way to increase engagement and entice employees to compete.
Over the years, LinkedIn, which has been part of Microsoft since June 2016, has introduced several features that are already famous on other platforms.
Among these, the tools for content creators, who were able to create films more suitable for the network, also focusing on long articles and surveys.
Quick games seem to enjoy a long track of use, so much so that in 2022 the New York Times acquired Wordle, where you have to guess a five-letter word in a maximum of six attempts, building a dedicated section around the app, with puzzles and other online games.
