Gaming is no longer just about playing; it’s about experiencing a new world. READYgg, with its extensive network of 2000 games and 200 million players monthly, is teaming up with Aptos Labs, renowned for its ultra-fast blockchain technology. Together, they’re set to bring millions into web3 gaming.
Starting November 20, 15 million gamers will have the opportunity to get early access to new titles on the blockchain, launching on December 6.
The impact of READYgg cannot be overstated, with over 20 major web2 publishers in their portfolio. These publishers represent 2,000 games and have a monthly user base of 200 million. By the end of 2023, at least four will shift to the Aptos blockchain, with more to follow.
The four games shifting to the Aptos blockchain are:
- Runestone Keeper: an award-winning dungeon crawler on Steam, XBOX One, Android & iOS.
- Rescue Robots Sniper Survival: a first-person pixel-based action game on Android with 5M+ downloads.
- Minijuegos: a hypercasual platform with mini-games.
- ToroFun: a social gaming portal.
These games will incorporate innovative web3 features, such as NFTs, and some will even offer unique loyalty systems based on NFTs.
Publishers joining this venture will enjoy benefits like potential funding through READYgg’s $RDYX token and stable usage fees on Aptos—a way to develop web3 with less exposure to price volatility.
