The social network for searching and establishing business contacts LinkedIn plans to add games to its functionality.
This is confirmed by the company itself, TechCrunch reports.
Microsoft thus plans to increase the time that people spend on the social network.
The developers want to take as a guide the success of Wordle – a fairly simple game that went viral in a fairly short time and became a huge success. The first three games on LinkedIn will be called Queens, Inference and Crossclimb.
The first to see future innovations were developers who began to find code with relevant developments on LinkedIn. One of them, Nima Ovji, drew attention to the function of ranking companies in the rating depending on the scores of their employees.

Later, a LinkedIn representative confirmed this information: the company is indeed working on games, but there is no exact launch date yet.
“We're experimenting with adding puzzle games to LinkedIn to add some fun, deepen communication, and hopefully spark conversation,” LinkedIn said in a statement.
The company also added that the images that appeared on X (ex-Twitter) are not the latest versions. And they provided the latest screenshots with the latest developments.
The owner of LinkedIn, Microsoft, is a major player in the gaming market. Its businesses include Xbox, Activision Blizzard and ZeniMax, which generated $7.1 billion in revenue last quarter alone.
