Media Molecule lets Dreams players use some content for commercial use

Share your dreams with the world

Media Molecule’s Dreams allows players to unleash their creativity, and the results have been nothing short of awe-inspiring. The latest update to Dreams‘ content policy gives creators greater freedom regarding how they use their creations. This update comes as the studio prepares to pull its live support.

Changes are coming to Dreams

Earlier this year, Media Molecule announced that it would be ending its live support of Dreams on September 1, 2023. This decision was taken to allow the studio to focus on a new project.

Although it’ll still be possible to play the game and share Dreams with others, the studio won’t be releasing any more updates. It isn’t time to abandon the game just yet because some significant creator-friendly changes have been made to its content policy.

Dreams’ New Content Policy

The new content usage terms allow players to use music, animation, films, and art created in Dreams for both commercial and personal purposes. There are a few terms and conditions attached to this.

As Media Molecule’s FAQ explains, to use creations outside of Dreams, the creations must be original and created by you. If you use someone else’s creation in your work, you’ll need to acquire their permission. The creations also have to comply with the PlayStation Network’s code of conduct and Media Molecule’s community guidelines.

Despite the myriad of rules, players still have plenty of freedom. Music can be posted to streaming sites, and images can be printed onto clothing and posters, for example. This opens even more avenues for creators to profit from their Dreams projects.

The end of Dreams‘ live support may be disappointing to some. However, the changes to the content policy ensure fans can make the most of their creations even as the studio moves on to a new project.
