Key changes include a new three-tier SKU model (base item, entitlement, offer) mirroring the subscription platform, eliminating the need to duplicate SKUs for sales or regional pricing. New purchase options include pre-orders, rentals (time-gated access), and auto top-ups for in-game wallets. The buy flow has been optimized with ML-ranked payment methods, cart abandonment reminders, and purchase flow recommendations, resulting in a $650M increase in user spending, 7% more new paying users, and 3% conversion boost. Future initiatives include AI/ML-driven dynamic optimizations for targeting offers and grace period management, a developer toolkit in Play Console with monetization recommendations and ROI forecasting, and a dynamic catalog model for large SKU libraries. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
