ImmutableX, a Layer 2 protocol scaling solution on Ethereum officially announced that the GameStop Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) Marketplace had begun operations. The partnership between the duo was officially launched in February 2022.
The integration of GameStop’s NFTs is expected to be open to Web3 games and tens of millions of GameStop players. GameStop Powerup Pro loyalty customers across the US will now have access to millions of top-quality NFT gaming assets through the NFT Marketplace. Additionally, the integration will enable minting and trading on the GameStop NFT Marketplace which is completely gas and carbon-free.
The ImmutableX and GameStop partnership launch has resulted in a lot of accomplishments for the duo. Thanks to ImmutableX’s integration with the GameStop Wallet, users can manage their physical money and digital assets. They also launched a $100 million fund designed to encourage developers and builders to propose, sign, and integrate new games that will power future NFT and web3 gaming.
Currently, 250 separate collections make up around 54,000 different NFTs that make up the marketplace. The most popular collection out of those 250 is MetaBoy, which has 10,000 animated GIFs. It accounts for 25% of GameStop NFT transaction activity and more than 52% of all trade on the site is comprised of the top four NFT collections.
“As Immutable introduces the subsequent billion players to web3 gaming, our cooperation with GameStop represents a significant advancement. With the GameStop NFT Marketplace’s official debut today, we can now give gamers access to millions more NFTs and more of the best web3 games currently being developed, all while preserving a top-notch gaming experience” says ImmutableX co-founder and President Robbie Ferguson. “We are eager to develop our partnership with GameStop and look forward to collaborating to create the web3 gaming industry of the future”.
