This new “Skill Mode” leverages cryptocurrencies, including the recently launched $TRIP token, adding a gamification element to the gaming experience.
While the move marks a significant step in the integration of blockchain technology into gaming, it has also raised concerns about market volatility and its potential impact on player satisfaction.

OverTrip is a free-to-play battle royale game that combines traditional gameplay with blockchain-powered elements. The game integrates ethereum for nft minting and has plans to expand its ecosystem to Soneium, a layer 2 ethereum network backed by Sony.
In the game, players compete in games of up to 50 participants, with the goal of outlasting their opponents and achieving victory. Beyond the standard Battle Royale mode, the game offers additional options such as deathmatches and private lobbies with customizable settings, adapting to various play styles.
The OverTrip economy is powered by the $TRIP token, which is based on the Solana blockchain. This token can be used to purchase in-game skins and participate in the skill-based betting system.

Skill mode allows players to place bets ranging from $0.10 to $0.99 on their chances of finishing in the top three of a match. Successful bets generate cryptocurrency rewards, while unsuccessful bets generate losses. This mode also supports <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/SuperVerse” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>SuperVerse Tab ($SUPER) as an alternative betting option.
As part of its launch, the $TRIP token was distributed to select players via airdrops during early promotional campaigns. Although the token initially saw a decline in value, it has since stabilized with a market capitalization of $5 million at the time of writing, according to Dexscreener.
Due to its real money gambling feature, OverTrip received an “Adults Only” (AO) rating from the ESRB, which restricts its accessibility to adult audiences.
