The gaming platform that developed half of the world’s computer games integrates cryptocurrencies

The Unity game development platform has integrated thirteen blockchain projects for Web3 content. This is important news for even greater adoption of cryptocurrencies, as Unity currently holds 48% of the game engine market.

The cross-platform game engine Unity was launched in 2005. It allows developing video games not only for PCs (including macOS and Linux operating systems), but also for Xbox and Playstation game consoles, as well as for mobile devices (Android/iOS). Unity is the basis for such video games as Fall Guys, Cuphead, Among Us, Rust, Firewatch, Twelve Minutes, The Forest, and others.

Currently, the Unity game engine supports thirteen blockchain projects, including Infura and MetaMask providers. The company announced this in a press release. The list of supported networks includes Algorand, Tezos, Flow, and Solana.

Has it come?

The launch of the MetaMask SDK in the Unity Asset Store will allow devs to connect their games to the wallet, enabling users to interact with web3-enabled features within the game itself. Get ready for a whole new level of gameplay!

According to the press release, MetaMask support will allow video game developers to add the function of connecting to crypto wallets within their projects. The Infura provider will allow users to connect to third-party blockchains such as BNB Chain, Polygon, Cardano, Ethereum, etc. Unity also now supports a set of tools from Aptos Labs to create solutions based on the Aptos blockchain.

Each individual blockchain project can be connected to Unity through the Unity Asset Store marketplace in the Decentralization tab. Following the news, Unity Software Inc (U) shares on the New York Stock Exchange rose by almost 3%. The company’s market capitalization reached $ 11.4 billion.
