Game7, a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), tapped crypto custody wallet Metamask to create HyperPlay, “the world’s first Web3-native game launcher.” In a media release published last November 2, they officially announced the start of the operations of the game launcher.
“HyperPlay is open-source, free to build on, and provides simple APIs to request transactions and signatures. (And with the integration of Metamask,) gamers can now take their wallet, NFTs, tokens, and achievements with them into any game they play, making Web3 gaming permissionlessly interoperable by default.”

“Until now, Web3 game developers have been forced to sacrifice UX for function with no solution for adding interoperability to native games,” the press release read.
Accordingly, the developers noted that the players can access and play sideload games as the launcher is compatible with all games listed on the Epic Games Store and GOG. Moreover, HypePlay’s early supported titles include The Sandbox; and as per the developers, more titles are to be announced soon.
“With HyperPlay, developers can build the permissionless game economies they dream of… Players can take assets between games, use them in DeFi, and follow their friends’ wallets,” Jacobc.eth, HyperPlay founder and Game7 core contributor, stated.
