PS4 Targeting options in Popads

hey i hope everybody is doing alright!

I wanted to ask you a question regarding the targeting options in PopAds, I want to target ps4 but i find it really hard to do so. I target ps4 in the list of Devices but when i come to the list of operating systems and want to target Orbis Bsd as the operating system of PS4 , i can't find it in the list of operating systems in POPADS traffic source. what should i do? or is there another name for orbis bsd in that list! your help is much appreciated.

Genuinely curious what sort of offers would convert on PS4, imagine the traffic is dirty cheap however.

Never tried to target PS4 in any source, but if they allow to select PS4 in the list of devices, it should do the job and you can simply ignore the OS targeting option.

no it's not that cheap because normally ps4 owners who are surfing online using their browser are in very competitive geos , so it's game of thrones kind of bidding.

I just checked on PopAds, they have all PlayStation versions in the device targeting tab.

However this may be not true for other traffic sources or other multimedia devices similar to PS4, so here is a general way I would do it:

What you need to do is to reverse engineer the device.

I would go to a site like https://whoer.net/ on the PS4 browser and note all fingerprints that I could eventually target within my traffic source:

Especially note OS (and its version) and note browser (and its version).

Also look for unique strings in the User Agent where I believe will be some kind of PS4 related unique finger print.

From here I would try to work with this information in my campaign targeting.
