Currently, the platform offers curated web3 gaming content. It already lists well over 200 games on 15 different chains. This accounts for over 60,000+ registered gamers. This puts GAM3S.GG is in pole position for being the biggest hub for Web3 gamers.
Since its launch in November 2022, more gaming industry giants have tested the waters of Web3 gaming. For example, Zynga with Sugartown. Or how about Ubisoft with Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles? They both worked on web3-native games. As we see more new gamers enter the blockchain gaming space, an aggregator like GAM3S.GG also grows.
Sentiment Towards Web3 Gaming Is Shifting
With this shift in sentiment, GAM3S.GG can keep building a hub for newcomers and natives. This allows them to find out about new frontiers and experiences. All within this one Web3 gaming super-app by GAM3S.GG.
Omar Ghanem, Co-Founder & CEO at GAM3S.GG. said: “The gaming industry is at a crossroads. While web3 offers new exciting possibilities, the lack of quality content and a singular destination for all your web3 gaming needs has left many gamers lost.”
Ken, Partner at Mechanism Capital said: “Web3 games are a uniquely difficult product to build, let alone the infrastructure surrounding and enabling it. This holds especially true for gaming hubs and aggregators. Finding the win will require teams to take us past the feature sets we have been stuck with for years. And the ability to understand incumbent playbooks and evolve them with aggressive experimentation. We see that here with this squad – now it’s just a matter of time for players to make their way to GAM3S.GG.”
In December 2022, the platform hosted the first and largest web3 game award show. This was the GAM3 Awards. So, no less than 250,000+ votes and 140,000 unique viewers tuned into this streamed event. Now the platform is using cutting-edge tech to keep building advanced features. This should drop barriers to onboard blockchain games. Furthermore, this includes, among others:
- Social logins.
- Player-owned item management.
- Progression rewards.
- Retrospective in-game progress tracking.
- Any play web3 games on the platform.
