Mobile pool gaming is about to experience a seismic shift as Pool Masters, the latest creation from the team behind the billion-download hit 8 Ball Pool, joins Immutable's massive web3 gaming rewards program, The Main Quest.
A billion-dollar genre ripe for disruption
Pool games have long been a staple of the mobile gaming landscape.
8 Ball Pool, a cult classic, has racked up over 1 billion downloads since its release over 10 years ago and holds the Guinness world record as "The most downloaded mobile pool game."
The title remains as popular as ever, recording over 260 million hours of playtime monthly, with over 10 million active users daily.
But despite this popularity, the genre has not seen much innovation in recent years.
That’s about to change.
Pool Masters: Where skill meets ownership
Pool Masters is a free-to-play, turn-based mobile pool game that offers familiar gameplay with a web3 twist.
Players can enjoy:
- PvP Matches
- Mini Leagues
- Collectable cues
- Battle against AI
In Pool Masters, every shot counts, and your skills can earn you real rewards.
It’s this unique twist to the pool mobile genre that gives players true ownership of their in-game assets.
Players compete for collectible cue cards that can be turned into NFTs at their worldwide launch. Each cue has unique attributes affecting its power, spin, accuracy, and time.
This system allows skilled players to earn valuable tokens and NFTs, adding a new dimension to competitive play while ensuring that the game's economy is transparent and manipulation-resistant, creating a fair playing field for all.
“It doesn’t matter how good you are if you are not shooting.” – Efren Bata Reyes, #1 All-Star Pool Player & Pool Masters ambassador.
Time to elevate the stakes with The Main Quest
As part of The Main Quest, Pool Masters offers players unprecedented opportunities to earn rewards while enjoying their favorite game.
Here's how it works:
- Players can earn 100 Gems for completing Pool Masters quests.
- Daily tasks and evolving challenges keep the gameplay fresh and rewarding.
- Participants have a chance to win a share of up to 5% of the Pool Masters token supply at launch.
These rewards add tangible value to players' time and skill in the game, creating a more engaging and potentially lucrative gaming experience.
Immutable x Pool Masters: The ultimate web3 gaming experience
Pool Masters is developed by the team behind the record-breaking 8 Ball Pool.
Pool Masters leverages web3 technology to give players true ownership over their in-game assets. The time and effort invested in mastering shots, collecting cues, and competing in tournaments have real value beyond the game.
With gas-free minting and trading, plus seamless asset exchanges through Immutable Passport and Checkout, Pool Masters sets a new standard for player ownership and accessibility in the pool gaming genre.
Jonathan Ivarsson, CEO, shared his thoughts on partnering with Immutable: "We believe that there's power in partnering with a specialized chain vs one that tries to fit all use cases. Immutable works day and night to improve their gaming ecosystem, developer tooling, and publishing capabilities. This will allow us to go-to-market faster, reach greater audiences, and make player onboarding easier."
