“At the end of the day, gamers don’t care what tech is powering a game. Games simply have to be fun and work flawlessly,” said Adeniyi Abiodun, Chief Product Officer and Co-Founder of Mysten Labs. “The SuiPlay0X1 will showcase that games seamlessly incorporating blockchain technology look and feel no different than traditional ‘web2’ games – it’ll show gamers all over the world that player ownership, thanks to blockchain tech, can provide a deeper and more engaging gaming experience without disrupting their fun.”
At launch, SuiPlay0X1 will be able to play PC games across multiple platforms, including device-compatible existing titles from Epic Games and Steam. In addition, the device will be the home for Sui-powered games such as XOCIETY, a Pop Shooter featuring RPG elements, dynamic PvP, and immersive PvE experiences and DARKTIMES, a free-to-play Nordic-inspired medieval Brawler Royale with a physics-based combat system.
“SuiPlay is set to deliver the first of a new generation of handheld gaming systems powered by Playtron’s GameOS,” said Playtron CEO and Founder Kirt McMaster. “Back in March, we aimed to deliver Playtron devices globally by 2025, and today we’re one step closer to achieving our mission of enabling new possibilities for gamers everywhere.”
