PC-based web3 game distribution and discovery store HyperPlay has announced the launch of its Quest Platform. Launching with 25 titles, it will enable players to complete quests across supported games and gain rewards in the shape of tokens, NFTs and reputation.

Compared to many other similar reward programs, HyperPlay hopes its version will provide higher engagement as HyperPlay’s graphical overlay is inherent to these games, meaning completing quests should offer less friction compared to moving between games and the reward website.

Developers can set up quests for their games using HyperPlay’s Developer Portal tools, with most quest types requiring no additional engineering.

Some of the games participating in the launch include Parallel, MetaCene, Xociety, Phantom Galaxies, Forgotten Playland, Dark Throne, Uldor, Gotchi Guardians, Spirit Force Arena, Apeiron, Coinracer, MegaWeapon, Craft World, Legions 2029, Aether, Cosmik Battle, OneTap, Mighty Action Heroes, Medieval Empires, Portal Fantasy, Shutdown and Moonray.

“The unmatched immersive player experience and diversity of our quests game line-up, and
player rewards align with HyperPlay’s mission to create an ecosystem without limits,” commented
HyperPlay CEO JacobC.eth.

“We believe this will empower game developers to build much better web3 games. The possibilities are as vast as the game worlds themselves.”

Blockchain game store HyperPlay and crypto wallet provider MetaMask have extended their collaboration with the launch of a new HyperPlay-curated games directory within the MetaMask service.

The new directory will be integrated within the MetaMask Portfolio dashboard, offering users a one-stop shop for game discovery in combination with management of digital assets. Essentially, this means MetaMask users will now be able to find games from platforms including Epic Games, GOG and HyperPlay’s own game store, directly within MetaMask.

Among some of the high-profile web3 titles on the directory are Shrapnel, Phantom Galaxies, Bushi, and Craft World.

This latest announcement is a strengthening of a previous collaboration between the companies. Initially launched as a collaboration between MetaMask and the Game7 DAO, HyperPlay is already offering a MetaMask wallet overlay to facilitate in-game purchases and token distribution across its games. Additionally, on the back of the launch of MetaMask Snaps in December 2023, HyperPlay expanded this functionality, offering MetaMask support to its games on non-EVM blockchains such as Solana and Sui too.

“We are thrilled to further our relationship with MetaMask. Together, we’re shifting the gaming paradigm by expanding accessibility and interoperability for all players. There is no wallet solution more focused on interoperability, extensibility, and user safety than MetaMask,” commented HyperPlay founder JacobC.eth.

“Our continued collaboration with HyperPlay underscores the importance of streamlining wallet interactions for players and game developers alike. Blockchain gaming has incredible potential to disrupt game developer monetization strategies and how gamers play, but we need to improve player adoption through seamless user experiences,” commented MetaMask senior product manager Kai Huang. 

In June 2023, HyperPlay raised $12 million in a series A round, which was co-led by Griffin Gaming Partners and BITKRAFT Ventures, along with Consensys and Square Enix.
