LinkedIn is known as a platform with millions of users from all over the world, where professionals search for jobs and career opportunities. It is generally used for business connections and professional development. In this context, the presence of games may not seem very logical. But what if we told you that you might be able to play games on LinkedIn soon? According to recent developments, the platform is conducting a test related to this. Here are the details…
Games are on the way for the LinkedIn Android app!
Various lines of code indicating the addition of video games to the platform were discovered in the source code of the new update released for the LinkedIn Android app. Looking at these codes, we see game names such as Crossclimb, Queens, and Pinpoint.
However, there are also lines indicating the presence of a leaderboard. On the other hand, there are signs in other lines of code that notifications will be sent to users to play games. The relevant codes are as follows;
<string name="games_blueprint_title">Pinpoint</string> <string name="games_crossclimb_title">Crossclimb</string> <string name="games_leaderboard_share_button">Share leaderboard</string> <string name="games_my_network_entry_point_subtitle">Play your way into conversations and share your score.</string> <string name="games_my_network_entry_point_title">Stay in touch through daily games</string> <string name="games_organizational_update_card_header">Join the chatter</string> <string name="games_promo_card_header">Dive into more games</string> <string name="games_queens_title">Queens</string> <string name="games_streak_card_title">Keep it up</string> <string name="games_streak_friday_initial">F</string> <string name="games_streak_monday_initial">M</string> <string name="games_streak_notification_button">Remind me to play</string> <string name="games_streak_saturday_initial">S</string> <string name="games_streak_sunday_initial">S</string> <string name="games_streak_thursday_initial">T</string> <string name="games_streak_tuesday_initial">T</string> <string name="games_streak_wednesday_initial">W</string>
These codes indicate that games will be added to the application, but it’s currently uncertain when users will be able to access them. Speculations point to the coming weeks. So for now, it seems like there’s nothing to do but wait.
We’re not far from playing games on social media. For example, there are popular games like Farmville and Candy Crush Saga on Facebook, which also contribute to the platform’s growth. In this context, LinkedIn taking such a step could be beneficial.
