Extraction shooter Planet-X joins the Xai network

The Xai Foundation announced today that the treasure hunt extraction shooter Planet-X is joining the Xai blockchain system. It joins Xai’s roster of games and is currently in closed beta with a launch on iOS and Android in open beta coming soon. The game also participates in the Xai Vanguard: Genesis campaign this year.

Planet-X is a free-to-play title that allows users the chance to win real-world prizes by opening in-game chests. Players either win their prizes instantly — one such prize in an upcoming hunt is apparently a Tesla Cybertruck — or redeem in-game currency for a selection of prizes from the X-Vault. Players can only participate in the hunts that reward such prizes by obtaining a “hunt pass” offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

James, Planet-X founder, said in a statement, “We’re incredibly excited to be joining the Xai ecosystem, bringing our brand-new gaming concept to the world driven by their L3 blockchain technology. Our team has been working hard on the game for 4 years to create a unique gaming experience which is not only fun, but offers substantial real-world prizes as its core game-loop. With Xai’s partnership, we’re taking a huge step towards making Planet-X a social phenomenon, bringing web3 gaming to the masses.”

Soby, one of Xai’s core contributors, added, “We’re excited to welcome Planet-X to the Xai ecosystem. Planet-X’s innovative approach to gaming, combining real-world prizes with blockchain technology, aligns perfectly with our vision for the future of web3 gaming. This partnership showcases the potential of the Xai platform to support and enhance cutting-edge gaming experiences.”
