  • Patent number: 11534693
    Abstract: An example of an information processing system gives an in-game virtual reward associated with a first designated game stage to a user on condition that a result of a first game played by the user satisfies the reward giving condition. The information processing system gives the in-game virtual reward associated with a second designated game stage to the user on condition that a result of a second game played by the user satisfies the reward giving condition. Regardless of whether an in-game virtual reward is given based on the result of the first game played by the user or the result of the second game played by the user, the information processing system changes an in-game element in the first game mode from a state where it is not permitted to be played by the user to a state where it is permitted to be played by the user.
