It's official: Stay tuned for LinkedIn's in-app games

LinkedIn in-app games are coming soon. LinkedIn announced on Saturday that it is working to add puzzle-based in-app games to its platform. According to the announcement of this social media platform owned by Microsoft, it is expected that with the addition of this feature, the LinkedIn experience for users will be much better than before.

One of the spokespersons of the company announced in a conversation with the Seeking Alpha news site:

I can confirm that we are trying to implement puzzle-based games into the LinkedIn experience to provide some fun for users and deepen relationships and hopefully create an opportunity for conversation between users. Stay with us for more news!

This action by LinkedIn makes media companies' efforts to use in-app puzzle games to enhance user experience more prominent than before. The New York Times (NYT) has added millions of players to the viral word guessing game by acquiring Wordle in 2022.

The news about LinkedIn came after app researcher Nima Oji shared screenshots of LinkedIn apps on the X social network, formerly known as Twitter. According to Oji, one of the plans includes adding player points based on where users work.

It should be noted, however, that a spokesperson for the social media platform, in an interview with TechCrunch, which first reported the news, stated that the images shared by Oji were false.

LinkedIn with more than 900 million users will definitely be a good option for Microsoft to expand the game business. According to the report of Microsoft, this company earned 7.1 billion dollars in the game sector in the second quarter. This figure is one tenth of the total income of this company and for the first time it exceeds the income of Windows of this company.
