Playboy Ventures Into Video Games

HOLLYWOOD – In its first entry into the video game market, Playboy Enterprises is teaming with two software companies to publish “Playboy: The Mansion,” which will be available in the Xbox and PlayStation 2 formats.

Co-publishers Groove Games of Scottsdale, Ariz., and Arush Entertainment of Toronto told XBiz that the game will be available in time for the Christmas season.

The companies said players will be able to step into the virtual slippers of Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, building Playboy Magazine and the Playboy Mansion into dynamic cultural icons.

The 3-D game’s environment includes the estate areas such as the Game House and the Playboy Grotto where gamers will be able to step into the role of the Playboy mogul, hosting lavish parties designed to be the envy of Hollywood.

Chicago-based Playboy Enterprises, which licensed the products to Groove Games and Arush, publishes editions of Playboy magazine around the world, owns Playboy.com and operates the Playboy and Spice television networks, and licenses brands worldwide.

The companies said that Playboy readers spent over $300 million on video games over the last year with more than 3.1 million readers owning a video game system.

A beta version of “Playboy: The Mansion” will be on display at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles next month.
