Xbox May Soon Display Ads During Gameplay

Microsoft has filed a patent for a system that would display ads during Xbox gameplay sessions. The 'Contextually Aware Management of Interactive Software Application Access' patent describes a system where ads are shown at certain points in a game, such as after completing a level or during loading screens.

The system would allow users to earn 'credits' by watching these ads, which can then be used to play without interruption. However, the patent does not mention any specific Xbox service that this feature will be implemented on.

Users have reacted negatively to this news, with one user stating, 'It's getting ridiculous', and another saying, 'I will never play a game or use a console that interjects ads into the gameplay experience.'
