GIBRALTAR, October 16, 2024 — PLAY, the leading platform integrating Web3 technologies into gaming, has partnered with TapNation to bring mobile games to the forefront of the Web3 movement. This partnership will expand the PLAY ecosystem by integrating blockchain features into TapNation’s well-known mobile games, beginning with the fan-favorite, Rock Crawling: Racing Games 3D.
With 60 million monthly active users and 1.4 billion downloads across more than 50+ games, TapNation is set to deliver Web3 powered features using PLAY’s Software Development Kit (SDK). With innovations like player-owned assets, NFTs, marketplace integration, and on-chain tournaments, players will soon enjoy deeper engagement and new ways to interact with their favorite games, unlocking new revenue opportunities for themselves and the broader gaming community.
“This partnership exemplifies our dedication to continuous innovation and underscores our confidence in web3 technology. Together with PLAY, we share a unified ambition: to pioneer tomorrow’s use cases and revolutionize the gaming industry.” — Hervé Montoute, CEO, TapNation.
PLAY’s partnership with TapNation aligns with the company’s commitment to democratizing Web3 technology. Mobile gaming is not just a form of entertainment but a central part of digital culture. Their portfolio of games, known for their wide appeal and ease of access, resonate with millions of players from all demographics. This partnership marks a leap forward in scaling Web3 through accessible platforms.
“Our mission at PLAY is to make the excitement and innovation of Web3 gaming available to everyone, no matter where they are or what kind of device they use. Partnering with TapNation is a key part of this vision as they truly are leaders in their space. Mobile games have an incredible reach, especially in regions where access to traditional gaming hardware can be limited. By tapping into this, we’re bringing blockchain-powered games to millions of new players, many of whom will experience Web3 for the first time through their phones.” — Christina Macedo, CEO & Founder, PLAY.
The first game to showcase Web3 integration as part of this partnership will be Rock Crawling: Racing Games 3D, a highly rated mobile game that has surpassed 15 million downloads on major app stores. Utilizing PLAY’s multi-platform distribution tools, including capabilities for Telegram integration, TapNation will roll out exciting new features such as PvP modes, on-chain tournaments, and an in-game marketplace where players can actively trade and customize vehicles.
This partnership between PLAY and TapNation demonstrates how mobile games can successfully integrate into the Web3 space, creating a model for other studios looking to adopt blockchain technologies in their development pipeline.
