WEBTOON<\/a><\/cite> Entertainment announced on Tuesday that it has entered a marketing partnership with PlayStation<\/a><\/cite>. Starting on Tuesday, PlayStation<\/cite> Plus Premium users gained access to a WEBTOON<\/cite> subscription on the platform’s English-language service. In return, WEBTOON<\/cite> subscribers\u2014particularly readers of titles like Omniscient Reader<\/a><\/cite><\/i>, Bad Born Blood<\/i>, and The Reborn Young Lord is an Assassin<\/i>\u2014 receive two complimentary weeks of PlayStation<\/cite> Plus.<\/p>\n

The initiative aims to create a two-way engagement funnel: introducing gamers to webtoons and guiding WEBTOON<\/cite> fans into the gaming ecosystem, especially for series with strong game-like worldbuilding.<\/p>\n

This marks another step in WEBTOON<\/cite> Entertainment’s ongoing collaborations with the gaming industry. In January 2025, the company partnered with Japanese game developer CAPCOM<\/a><\/cite> to host a WEBTOON<\/cite> contest inspired by the Monster Hunter Wilds universe.<\/p>\n

The contest was part of WEBTOON<\/cite>‘s Branded Contest program, which connects creators with official brand partners. U.S.-based creators can submit entries to WEBTOON<\/cite>‘s platform, choosing from three prompts inspired by the Monster Hunter<\/cite> universe. Prompts are available on WEBTOON<\/cite> Entertainment’s website.<\/p>\n
