Web3 gaming reward platform Forge is opening up with the launch of Season 2 rewards as well as the release of self-service tools, enabling any game developer to hook into its community.

Launched into beta in late 2023, Forge has been working with games such as The Sandbox, Blocklords, Pixelmon, Mojo Melee, Rushdown Revolt, Portal Fantasy, Ember Sword and Genopets driving what it claims are hundreds of millions of user engagements from more than two million registered users.

On one level, users get XP for connecting their gaming and social accounts such as X, Steam, Discord and crypto wallets. This advances them along Forge’s own season pass.

They can also select to engage with specific games that reward them with points that rank them on individual game’s leaderboards for additional rewards.

And the two are synergetic as game developers can target players based on their verified gaming history, finding the exact type of users they hope will be interested in their game, offering game content as rewards.

“We believe that game developers should spend their precious time and resources building great games, and not worrying about how they will reach players through traditional distribution channels that have become increasingly less effective,” said Forge CEO Kun Gao.

“With this evolution of Forge, we’re giving developers new resources and capabilities to create gamification that attracts players to their game, and converts average fans into brand advocates and promoters.”

Forge also says its loyalty programs are easy-to-set-up and can be catered to a developer’s unique needs at any stage of game development from pre-alpha awareness building to post-launch in-game retention. 

“Working with Forge has been instrumental in rewarding our community and helping our title flourish,” said Portal Fantasy’s CEO Kasei. “We’re proud to have been one of the first Forge Partners and it’s been a pleasure working with the team since the beginning – they have been true professionals in every aspect!”
