Layer Launches AI Playable Ad Generator for Game Studios

Layer, an agentic creative platform for game studios, has launched Playables, an AI-powered feature that generates complete HTML5 playable ads within hours rather than weeks. The tool addresses the production bottleneck that limits playable ads to tier-one titles, despite them being among the highest-converting formats for user acquisition. The system accepts inputs such as game titles, prompts, creative briefs, screenshots, or gameplay capture, and produces network-ready, MRAID-compliant ad units compatible with major networks like AppLovin, Meta, TikTok, Google App Campaigns, Unity Ads, and ironSource. It supports various genres and allows marketers to modify mechanics and visuals via chat prompts. The feature is available immediately to all Layer subscribers at no extra cost. Layer's platform is already used by studios including King, Zynga, SciPlay, Huuuge Games, and Wildlife Studios.

AppLovin Sues Unity Over Data Collection in Ad Quality SDK

AppLovin has filed for a temporary restraining order against Unity in the Superior Court of California, San Francisco, alleging that Unity's Ad Quality SDK improperly collects data from AppLovin's MAX mediation platform without permission. The data includes ad creatives, user and device info, impression revenue, auction IDs, and mediation waterfall data. AppLovin claims Unity uses this data to train models that predict AppLovin's bidding decisions, giving Unity an unfair competitive advantage. AppLovin seeks to halt data collection within five business days and modify the SDK within 30 days. Unity disputes the claims, stating that Ad Quality is a free product designed to prevent harmful ads, and that the lawsuit is an attempt to stifle competition. The dispute is also heading to JAMS arbitration for breach of contract, trade-secret misappropriation, and unfair competition. A hearing is scheduled for September 30.
