On October 16, 2024, PLAY announced a significant partnership with TapNation aimed at enhancing mobile gaming through the integration of blockchain features.

This collaboration will initially focus on integrating Web3 technologies into TapNation's popular mobile game, Rock Crawling: Racing Games 3D.

Rock Crawling has already achieved over 15 million downloads and is set to introduce exciting new features, including player-versus-player modes and an in-game marketplace for vehicle trading.

TapNation, with 60 million monthly active users and 1.4 billion downloads across more than 50 games, is well-positioned to leverage PLAY's SDK for delivering Web3 features.

The new features will include player-owned assets, NFTs, marketplace integration, and on-chain tournaments, all designed to enhance player engagement and create new revenue opportunities.

PLAY is committed to democratizing access to Web3 gaming, providing tools like PLAY-ID, a community-driven marketplace, and the $PLAY token to empower both developers and players.

Hervé Montoute, CEO of TapNation, emphasized that this partnership is pioneering new gaming use cases within the Web3 space.

This collaboration serves as a model for other gaming studios looking to integrate blockchain technologies into their development processes.

Christina Macedo, CEO of PLAY, underscored the importance of making Web3 gaming accessible, particularly for players with limited access to traditional gaming hardware.
