Peloton Is Launching a Video Game. Is This a Smart Move?
Last week, connected fitness company Peloton Interactive (NASDAQ: PTON) announced the forthcoming release of Lanebreak, an in-app video game users can play on its well-known exercise bike. When the game launches to all subscribers this winter, users will be able to work out while using their pedaling speed and resistance knobs to play a music-centered, on-screen game and compare scores with other users.
