Mysten Labs, the creator of the Sui blockchain, has announced that its upcoming handheld gaming device, the SuiPlay0X1, is slated for release in the first half of 2025.
In a recent press release, the company revealed that preorders for the $599 device began on September 3.
Upon its launch, SuiPlay0X1 will support PC gaming across various platforms, including existing titles from Epic Games and Steam that are compatible with the device. Additionally, it will feature some blockchain-based games like shooter XOCIETY, a shooting game that combines “RPG elements with dynamic PvP and immersive PvE experiences”, and DARKTIMES, “a free-to-play Nordic-inspired medieval Brawler Royale with a physics-based combat system.”
“Ultimately, gamers care about one thing: fun and flawless gameplay,”
said Adeniyi Abiodun, Chief Product Officer and Co-Founder of Mysten Labs.
“The SuiPlay0X1 will demonstrate that games integrating blockchain technology can deliver the same high-quality experience as traditional ‘web2’ games. It will prove to gamers worldwide that blockchain-driven player ownership can enhance the gaming experience without compromising enjoyment.”
The SuiPlay device is set to launch the first of a new wave of handheld gaming systems, which will be powered by Playtron’s GameOS. According to Playtron CEO and Founder Kirt McMaster, the company had originally targeted a global release of Playtron devices by 2025 and with this new development, they are now closer to fulfilling their goal of unlocking new possibilities for gamers worldwide.
Meanwhile, in line with its push into blockchain gaming, NEXPACE, the blockchain division of South Korean game developer Nexon, has unveiled NXPC, a new cryptocurrency designed to boost user engagement and drive growth in its web3 game, MapleStory Universe. Built on the Avalanche blockchain, MapleStory Universe, a web3 version of the 2003 2D game, will feature NXPC to empower players and community members to contribute to in-game content creation, traditionally managed by developers. NXPC is expected to operate on the Avalanche blockchain, supporting a seamless flow of community-driven growth.
