Why Are Game Mods the Ultimate Frontier for In-Game Advertising?

Game mods, short for “modifications,” are transforming the gaming world—and not just for players.
These customizations offer a unique opportunity for advertisers to integrate non-intrusive, authentic ads directly into the gaming experience.

With 90% video completion rates (VCR) and 90% viewability, game mods are setting a new standard for engaging with the gaming community.

What Exactly Are Game Mods?

They allow players to enhance or alter video games by adding features, mechanics, or visual changes. They’re loved for:

  • Extending Playability
  • Creative Freedom
