1 – Enjin | Stormrite Collaboration to Integrate Cosmetic NFTs in RPG for Xbox and PC
Blockchain-based gaming platform Enjin has partnered with Stormrite to integrate cosmetic NFTs in the upcoming RPG for Xbox and PC. Stormrite is an open-world action RPG developed for Xbox and PC, which features cosmetic non-fungible tokens (NFTs) that can be purchased on the Enjin Marketplace.
This integration helps NFT owners to link their Enjin wallet directly to Stormrite on PC and Xbox. Further, this will allow players to customize their character and weapon skins depending on the tokens they own. In addition, Stormrite players would trade their in-game cosmetics peer-to-peer swiftly, while providing these items real-world value through Enjin Coin (ENJ). Notably, the Stormrite team has plans to launch its first public build on PC in the year 2022, following Xbox later this year.
The open world RPG called Stormrite uses @enjin's Jumpnet, and will come to PC and @Xbox next year!
NFTs coming to Xbox, you ready?

2 – Crypto.com Pay Launched the New Recurring Payments Feature to Empower Merchants
Crypto.com Pay has declared the beta launch of its new recurring payments feature for its merchants. As per the tweet, this new feature allows merchants to offer subscriptions for their products and services to customers. In addition, this will also accept periodic payments from customers seamlessly without any extra cost. Interestingly, this feature is a completely automated process.

In order to use this feature, merchants have to create a curated list of subscription products and services, as well as configure sale prices and billing periods through their Dashboard. Later on, customers can settle payments in more than 20 cryptocurrencies, including BTC, ETH, USDT, and CRO through the Pay feature in the Crypto.com App. Consequently, this would provide more convenience and flexibility to both the merchants and customers.
