Wow, this is awful. Some people reported that these ads are also very petty and not necessarily related to the game, like apparently Elden Ring shows an ad for a licensed mousepad when you hover over the game now...

Edit: Playstation Product Manager says this is actually a new bug. I really doubt it but they do seem to be "fixing it".

Ugh I love Steam but when I click on a new game, sometimes it’s like WATCH THIS STREAMER STREAM and it’s in the middle of the game like I WANT GO INTO IT BLIND GIVE ME AN OPTION TO DISABLE THIS

I either GoG or pirate these days. You want my money? Then respectfully sell me the product.

If you are taking about the storefront you can disable that completely in your options.

I couldn’t find one when it first came out, and haven’t looked since. Thank you so much!

Sure thing, if I were in front of my pc I'd have given you more precise instructions but yeah I was elated when I found that setting as I don't enjoy livestreams even if it's not a spoiler.
