amazon reaches agreement to change games
1KIN Labs recently announced the launch of its GR1D TERMINAL platform and 1PASS subscription service on amazon. The project is designed to offer a “unified discovery and management hub” for content across multiple networks and change the experience for blockchain-based players.
The new platform will allow users to explore the extensive Web3 gaming ecosystem and delve into numerous titles, with the goal of transforming the way players discover, manage and collect exclusive rewards on Web3 and simplifying the “fragmented” gaming landscape of the sector.
Following its closed Beta period with more than 25,000 participants, the platform seeks to introduce “new levels of interoperability” and easy-to-use features, offering access to a growing catalog of Web3 games on networks such as Solana, Avalanche, Polygon and others.
Additionally, 1KIN Labs also announced 1PASS along with GR1D TERMINAL. The new subscription service will be available on amazon, allowing players to unlock exclusive content, early access, and special discounts through the newly launched platform.
Like Xbox Games Pass, amazon Prime Gaming, and other traditional Web2 subscription services, 1PASS subscribers can choose between unique monthly in-game assets and other exclusive content provided by more than 100 Web3 games and studios within the GR1D ecosystem.
1PASS will be the first Web3 gaming subscription on amazon's platform, enabling distribution to the multinational e-commerce company's huge user base.
The 'promising' future of Web3 and Blockchain Gaming
The announcement follows the launch of the gaming-focused Layer-2 (L2) modular blockchain, GR1D Network, in June. The network is intended to foster an ecosystem where players can easily interact with exclusive assets and rewards and “ensure a dynamic and interconnected future for the industry.”
Jack O'Neill, founder of 1KIN Labs, emphasized the company's goal of making blockchain games more accessible and rewarding for users through a unified and friendly ecosystem:
With GR1D TERM1NAL, we are taking a big step towards realizing our vision of a more cohesive and user-friendly Web3 gaming ecosystem. Our goal has been to create a single access point that bridges the gap between various games and blockchain networks. At its core, we're bringing the ease and convenience that gamers expect from platforms like Xbox Game Pass to the world of blockchain gaming. It's about making Web3 games more accessible and fun for everyone involved.
Similarly, industry experts discussed the future of Web3 games, change and maturity of the sector at the 10th edition of the European Blockchain Convention (EBC10) in Barcelona.
As reported by Bitcoinist, Pablo Monti, Brand Manager at BingX, highlighted the growth of the sector after moving from the “fever of playing to win” to a service that supports the gaming industry in general.
Meanwhile, Sebastien Borget, co-founder and COO of The Sandbox, highlighted how players are experimenting with blockchain and earning their first nfts through gameplay.
Borget noted that blockchain games have become a gateway to Web3, and emphasized that the industry has moved towards empowering the creator economy to offer a “new approach” to the challenges of traditional Web2 games.
