Ultiverse is an AI-powered platform for crypto game production and publishing based in Singapore. The company integrates existing large language and generative models such as GPT-4, Llama and Stable Diffusion to train in-game NPCs and enable players to create AI agents, aiming to accelerate production and user adoption. Ultiverse says AI integration has reduced the time and cost to produce the same amount of content compared with prior processes, though the article notes other studios can adopt similar tools. The startup has published three games, including a mobile cricket title with 200,000 unique active wallet addresses; across all its games it reported 7.3 million registered users as of December and average monthly active users of 830,000. Using account abstraction, Ultiverse has onboarded mostly non-crypto users who previously did not hold wallets, helping convert web2 gamers into its ecosystem. The company recently completed a strategic funding round to support its growth and publishing efforts.
