HyperPlay's mission revolves around revolutionizing game distribution, and its recent launch of SYMBIOGENESIS® exemplifies its commitment to pushing boundaries in gaming. Leveraging Web3 technology, SYMBIOGENESIS® introduces players to a new era of immersive gameplay. With Square Enix on board, HyperPlay aims to accelerate its growth trajectory and foster groundbreaking collaborations within the gaming community.

Traditional game distribution platforms like Steam or the Apple App Store often impose restrictions on Web3 transactions within games. However, HyperPlay breaks free from these constraints, empowering players to seamlessly integrate their Web3 wallets into every gaming experience.
Whether the game is native or browser-based, HyperPlay ensures uninterrupted access to Web3 features, unlocking a new realm of possibilities for gamers and developers alike.
The investment from Square Enix underscores the industry's recognition of HyperPlay's disruptive potential.

“Square Enix is very excited to be investing and partnering with HyperPlay,” said Hideaki Uehara, General Manager of Investment & Business Development Dept at Square Enix, “We believe the HyperPlay team has built an extraordinary product for improving the distribution of games and creating new business models that are more beneficial for game developers.”

“HyperPlay is laser-focused on solving the most important user experience hurdles that stand in the way of fully extensible, interoperable, and permissionless game worlds. We believe many of the greatest problems originate from the legacy distribution platforms which prevent game developers from fully leveraging what Web3 has to offer,” said JacobC.eth, Founder of HyperPlay.
“As builders in the gaming space, we understand the importance of enabling new business models for gaming that align the incentives of players and developers.”
