According to reports, the companies have teamed up to introduce a new Web3 gaming incubator and accelerator OuterLife. OuterLife would see the integration of PlayWay’s over 100 subsidiary gaming studios and libraries of simulation titles, Polygon’s cutting-edge protocol, and GameSwift’s steam-like modular gaming platform. 

With OuterLife’s SDK, devs & studios can port their simulation games to web3 & plug into an interconnected digital reality. Players will be able to self-custody with NFTs to take items & abilities from one simulation to another.

According to PlayWay, it will port some of its catalog of games to provide a fresh and engaging experience for gamers. Other gaming studios that produce simulators have also been allowed to join the incubator and use a zk-powered Polygon Supernet to build their blockchain. 

Paweł Łaskarzewski, COO at OuterLife believes that the gaming industry is “ripe for disruption.”

Blockchain technology has the ability to provide new and engaging enhancements to tried and tested gaming models that have worked over the years, allowing players to get close to the game more than ever.

Details on the Polygon, PlayWay, and GameSwift’s Collaboration

OuterLife’s integration with zkEVM would enable the project to deliver a scalable, efficient, and secure all-in-one simulation gaming platform. There have been reports that many efforts have been made to bring blockchain technology to mainstream gaming with more than $739M invested in the first quarter of 2023. 

CEO of GameSwift Wojciech Gruszka commented on this Collaboration:

With OuterLife, character developments and upgrades in one game simulator will also have an impact in another – creating a truly interconnected digital reality with the power of blockchain.

PlayWay is a heavyweight in the gaming industry as it has 4 times bigger capitalization than the company behind Let’s Fish and Fishing Clash, Ten Square Games. It has over 100 titles in development and has also partnered with more than 120 studios globally. 

Urvit Goel, Vice President, Head of Global Business Development at Polygon Labs believes that gaming exists as one of the leading mainstream adoption for Web3.

When leading game companies like PlayWay and GameSwift join forces to establish the groundwork for Web3 gaming infrastructure, and with the market-leading advancements in zero knowledge technology being developed at Polygon Labs, the future of gaming holds tremendous potential.

Polygon on the other hand has also developed a suite of protocols for developers to gain access to major scaling solutions. The scaling solution initially developed has tens of thousands of decentralized apps, 2.7 billion processed transactions, more than 1.4 million smart contracts created, and over 287 million unique addresses. It has hosted some of the biggest Web3 projects including Aave, Uniswap, and OpenSea. 

As of press time, Polygon (MATIC) had a bullish market sentiment and has surged by 3.5 percent in the last seven days to trade at $0.790216.
