Moonray Studios CEO Rodrigo Etcheto asserts that blockchain games require mainstream consoles like Xbox and PlayStation for mass adoption. He emphasizes the need to engage with gamers where they are, as most players are on platforms such as PlayStation and Xbox. The Ethereum-based multiplayer battle arena game Moonray, available on PC via the Epic Games Store since July 2024, is set to launch on Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 in late 2025. Playtests are expected in the second half of 2025. Moonray is the second Web3 game to enter mainstream consoles, following Off The Grid. In a separate discussion, ArenaX Labs CEO Brandon Da Silva warns against AI being used as a gimmick in games, emphasizing the potential for AI to enhance player experiences through better matchmaking. Meanwhile, the crypto mini-shooter Blast Royale offers chaotic gameplay with solid matchmaking but includes frustrating shooting controls. Overall, the gaming landscape continues to evolve with the integration of blockchain and AI technologies.
