The web3 gaming sector is witnessing significant milestones with the early access launch of @playSHRAPNEL, an Avalanche shooter game, which has become one of the most hyped playtests in web3 history. The game's STX1 early access event offers $100,000 in token rewards and has garnered a strong response with 5,000 players queued and a peak of 6,000 concurrent players. Additionally, @playSHRAPNEL has achieved a notable presence on Twitch with up to 2.6k viewers. In a parallel development, @GunzillaGames has made strides by getting @playoffthegrid, another web3 game, listed on the Xbox store, marking it as the first web3 game to achieve this feat and witnessing 20,000 players in their alpha playtest. This has been a significant boost for the Avalanche platform, which is hosting these games on its subnets, and is indicative of a promising year for web3 gaming, particularly on Avalanche.
