Management of provisioning of video game during game preview

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to processing operations configured to manage provisioning of a video game during presentation of a preview of a video game (e.g., video game trailer). Video game previews may be presented through a graphical user interface of an online gaming delivery service. While a video game preview is being presented to a user, a provisioning determination may be made to determine whether to automatically initiate provisioning of a video game (e.g., in the background of the video game preview). For any non-limiting provisioning determination described herein, a state of the provisioning may be determined and graphical indicators of that state information may be presented to a user while the video game preview is being presented. Further examples describe processing related to contextual customization of game previews as well as GUI menus that are used to present game previews.
