Gaming represents the largest entertainment industry globally, surpassing music, movies, and TV combined. With over $200B spent yearly on in-game assets, gaming is web3's most promising frontier. As the leading web3 gaming platform with a 70% market share and over 400 games signed, Immutable continues to break down barriers between traditional and blockchain gaming.
Today, we're excited to announce Passport's Pre-Approved Transactions, a highly requested feature that enables games to handle blockchain transactions seamlessly within their environments. This release marks a key milestone in our mission to make web3 gaming invisible, intuitive, and immersive.
What We've Built and Why
The reality of Web3 gaming has been filled with disruptions—players forced to leave games to approve transactions, broken immersion, and complicated wallet interactions. Pre-Approved Transactions changes this by integrating blockchain approvals directly into the game's interface.
We've eliminated the need for disruptive out-of-game signing and confirmation screens, paving the way for advanced features like in-game marketplaces, in-game item trading, and crafting. This development springs from our fundamental belief: blockchain technology should enhance gaming experiences and brings Web3 closer to a Web2 experience.
Impacted Users: Transforming the Web3 Gaming Experience
For Players: A New Era of Seamless Gaming
Web3 gaming should feel just like traditional gaming - immersive, fluid, and uninterrupted. With Pre-Approved Transactions, we're making this a reality for players across our ecosystem. Gone are the days of breaking your gaming flow to approve transactions in external wallets. Now, everything happens seamlessly within your game, whether you're trading rare items, purchasing from in-game marketplaces, or crafting new assets.
This seamless experience means you can stay focused on what matters most: the game itself. Imagine battling a boss while upgrading your weapon or trading with fellow players without missing a moment of action. Every transaction happens naturally within your game's interface, maintaining immersion while ensuring your assets remain secure.
Players can enjoy complete control over their gaming experience with clear, game-native notifications and approval processes. The days of confusing wallet interactions and disrupted gameplay are over. Instead, you'll find familiar, intuitive interfaces that make web3 gaming feel natural and accessible.
For Developers: Unlocking New Possibilities
For game studios and developers, Pre-Approved Transactions opens up a new world of possibilities. Integrating blockchain transactions directly into your game's interface allows you to create deeper, more engaging player experiences while maintaining complete control over your user experience.
This feature enables you to implement sophisticated in-game economies, marketplaces, and trading systems that feel native to your game. Players can craft, trade, and transact without leaving the immersive world you've created, leading to longer session times, improved player retention, and a higher ARPPU for the studio via immersive in-game purchases.
The implementation process is straightforward, requiring minimal technical overhead while maintaining high-security standards. You retain full control over the transaction interface, ensuring it matches your game's look and feel, while our system handles the complex blockchain interactions behind the scenes.
By reducing friction in web3 interactions, you can focus on building engaging gameplay mechanics rather than worrying about blockchain complexity. This leads to better player experiences, reduced support tickets, and increased player satisfaction.
Security and Future Expansion
Currently, Pre-Approved Transactions works exclusively with game-issued assets, ensuring a controlled and secure environment. Our roadmap includes expanding these capabilities to support IMX, USDC, and ETH, always prioritizing player safety and asset security.
