“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 of Mysten Labs, in a statement. “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 Dark Times, a free-to-play Nordic-inspired medieval Brawler Royale with a physics-based combat system.
