Spotify first started out as a music streaming service, but overtime the platform developed and evolved and soon became more than just a place to listen to some tunes. It became a platform for discovering new music and recently the company has dived into fitness (sort of) by expanding on its running playlists.
The music streaming platform has also dabbled in video by teaming up with various video partners who will introduce various clips from their shows within Spotify. With that being said with the new directions that Spotify is headed towards, what could be next for the company? Could gaming be part of the company’s future as well?
Unfortunately for gamers this does not appear to be the case. Speaking to MCV, Spotify was quoted as saying, “It’s all about the right content for different people and different parts of your day – expanding on music content to include podcasts and video. Games are not part of this.” Now it might seem odd that Spotify could be discussed in the video games context, but perhaps not.
For example Spotify could be a part of video games in which developers could choose to integrate their service into the game itself. Games like Grand Theft Audio feature “radio stations” so instead of using default songs, gamers could choose to listen to their own playlists instead. In fact the company has even dipped its toes in the video game industry by launching apps for the PlayStation console.
