All About Ultra Games
The project aims to tackle existing challenges in the PC gaming industry by taking a web3-powered approach. This method not only reduces fees but also creates new revenue streams for developers. Further, it offers genuine ownership for players. The platform includes a storefront, a curated library, and a powerful launcher. Additionally, there is an extensive catalog of games, encompassing both web3 titles and popular PC games.
Ultra Games forms part of the larger Ultra gaming ecosystem, which also comprises the Uniq Marketplace and Ultra Wallet. This ecosystem is set to expand even further, with services such as the esports application ‘Ultra Arena’. To clarify, the Ultra Token ($UOS) powers all these platforms. Therefore, this ensures fast transaction times and zero fees on Ultra’s purpose-built Layer 1 blockchain. Web3 technology will enable developers and publishers to tokenize game licenses for resale, thereby generating new revenue streams and allowing true ownership for players.
Ultra Games: User Experience and Referral System
Players can effortlessly create an Ultra Games account. They can do so through a familiar web2-style sign-up process and automatically receive a custodial Ultra Wallet. Then, they can purchase games using credit/debit cards or $UOS. Furthermore, a referral system enables players to earn a percentage of the sale when their referred friends make purchases.
Bringing it Together
Nicolas Gilot, Co-CEO at Ultra, expressed that the PC gaming distribution market is “ripe for disruption,” in this case led by NFT gaming. He believes that blockchain technology has the potential to address critical issues such as high fees and lack of true ownership. Yves Bléhaut, SVP of Strategic Partnerships at Microids, conveyed his delight in being part of the Ultra Games launch and looks forward to a promising future in partnership with Ultra.
