HyperPlay operates a Web3-native game store that also aggregates other storefronts such as the Epic Games Store, allowing players to access titles from multiple sources in one hub. The platform enables players to carry their Web3 wallet into each game launched from the launcher, whether native or browser-based, and supports interoperable items and wallets. HyperPlay offers cross-platform support for Windows, macOS, Steam Deck, and Linux and advertises a 0% fee model so revenue goes directly to developers. The company plans to use recent funding to scale the HyperPlay store, add rich gaming reputation and community features, and simplify infrastructure for developers. HyperPlay emphasizes enabling new Web3 business models and greater creative freedom for developers to build content and align incentives between players and creators. The product roadmap centers on removing distribution obstacles imposed by legacy platforms and creating an ecosystem that prioritizes gamer and developer experience. HyperPlay offers a Web3-native game launcher and store aggregator with an in-game wallet overlay that lets players use their MetaMask wallet directly inside native and browser games. The platform supports all EVM-compatible chains on the user side and currently lists over 33 Web3 titles. HyperPlay charges no taxes on in-game economies and monetizes optional features such as on-ramping and token swaps. The product emphasizes interoperability, persistent data for discovery, assets, profiles, and achievements, and teases special features coming to the Mantle L2. Launched in November of last year as a joint collaboration between MetaMask and Game7, HyperPlay aims to scale the flagship launcher and increase its international presence. The company positions itself as developer-friendly versus legacy storefronts like Apple and Steam.
