Digital Playground Inc. is an American pornographic film studio, headquartered in Burbank, California. It has been called one of the five biggest porn studios and, in 2006, was described by Reuters as one of the handful of studios that dominate the U.S. porn industry.^[2]

Adult director Joone founded the company^[1] in 1993, originally making adult CD-ROM computer games.^[3][4] The company became an innovator in making pornography available on personal computers.^[5]

In 2003, DP began working with a company specializing in hologram technology, with the aim of bringing the actress "into the viewer's living room".^[3] DP began filming in high-definition in 2005.^[6] In January 2006 the company chose Blu-ray Disc over rival format HD DVD because Joone felt Blu-ray Disc was more future-proofed.^[5] DP initially had difficulty finding a company prepared to produce its films in the Blu-ray Disc format, as companies that replicated DVDs were reluctant to deal with the pornography industry.^[5]

The Digital Playground studios have been at the forefront for iPads, HD and three-dimension technology for cinema and television in the porn industry.^[7] Digital's former chief executive Samantha Lewis, has claimed that "many technology brands [have] used the adult industry [and DP, in particular,] to test new markets" because of "the sheer scale of the [porn] industry".^[7]

The studio was acquired by Manwin in March 2012.^[8]

Digital Playground introduced the virtual sex genre of CD-ROMs and DVDs, in which the viewer can control a famous pornographic actress by selecting from a menu of explicit scenes.^[3][9] The first film in the series was released in 1998.^[3] In the series the actress looks directly at the camera, and appears to talk directly to the viewer.^[3] Jenna Jameson is one of the best-selling adult DVDs of all time according to adultdvdempire.com sales charts.^[3]

In 2004, Digital Playground produced the first HD pornographic film, Island Fever 3, shot on location in Tahiti and Bora Bora.
