PlayFi Features

PlayFi Studios offers a top-tier gaming experience for gamers at all levels. Its games are created using Unreal Engine 5 (UE5), exposing players to highly realistic games with quality graphics.

Using Unreal Engine 5 allows PlayFi Studios’ games to take advantage of UE5’s RTX, Lumen, and DLSS technologies.

The PlayFi Studios team uses its unique proprietary automated backend infrastructure to guarantee efficiency and seamlessly adapt to any Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). According to its website, PlayFI currently offers three games: CryptoBall, Oahu Nights, and MURK.

Shibarium Partner Coming Soon

It remains unclear when PlayFi and Shiba Inu will finalize the deal to become official partners. In the meantime, PlayFi noted that a partnership is loading.

If finalized, PlayFi will become the latest project the Shiba Inu team will officially partner with, joining others such as Bad Idea AI, Welly Friends, Chainlink, K9 Finance, Imaginary Ones, Unification, and Zama.

Each of these projects offers unique utility to the Shiba Inu ecosystem. For instance, K9 Finance offers liquid staking on Shibarium, allowing Shiba Inu community members to stake their tokens like BONE while retaining its liquidity.

Notably, PlayFi aims to launch new P2E games on Shibarium, exposing players to new and exciting games beyond the existing ecosystem titles, such as Shiba Eternity, Shiboshi Rush, and Agent Shiboshi.
