CEO of global streaming and games JB Perrette explained at a Morgan Stanley conference, &#8220;We think the opportunity for us, which again, this is a multi-year [opportunity], because games is certainly a bit of a long cycle business too, but the opportunity is to take those four franchises [DC, Harry Potter, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/review\/mortal-kombat-1\/gory-glory\">Mortal Kombat<\/a>, and Game of Thrones] and be able to develop a much more holistic approach, particularly around expanding into the mobile and multiplatform free-to-play space, which could give us a much better and consistent set of revenue, and you&#8217;ll see us launching this year some mobile free-to-play games, which we hope will start building that,&#8221; as reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.videogameschronicle.com\/news\/warner-bros-reiterates-plans-to-increase-focus-on-free-to-play-and-live-service-games\/\"><i>VideoGamesChronicle<\/i><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Perrette continued, &#8220;And then secondarily live services, so rather than just launching a kind of one-and-done console game, how do we develop a game around, for example, Hogwarts Legacy or Harry Potter, that is a live service where people can come today and live and work and build and play in that world on an ongoing basis. And so, we think we&#8217;ve got the franchises, we&#8217;ve got some of the greatest studio capabilities, and we have a roadmap and a strategic investment plan to try and build out that business, and we think there&#8217;s meaningful growth over the course of the next couple of years.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Mortal Kombat 1 | New Gameplay Today\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iG5GplTdZtk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Perhaps confusingly, this initiative to double down on free-to-play and live-service games arrives after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/review\/hogwarts-legacy\/a-potion-well-brewed\">Hogwarts Legacy<\/a> \u2013 a traditional single-player game with a premium price tag and zero live-service elements \u2013 was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/news\/2024\/01\/08\/hogwarts-legacy-has-sold-more-than-22-million-copies-in-less-than-a-year\">the best-selling game of last year<\/a>, beating out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/review\/the-legend-of-zelda-tears-of-the-kingdom\/such-great-heights\">The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/review\/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-iii\/not-so-special-ops\">Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III<\/a>, and other heavy hitters.
