Ultra Immersive Gaming

If you ever dreamt of befriending a game character, 2023 might just be the year when it starts becoming reality. Powered by modern GPUs, game engines, and ChatGPT, the graphics will start to become indistinguishable from reality. So much so that the avatars inside the game will feel as real as your neighbour.

True Ownership of Digital Items

Remember all those online assets you gathered after spending countless hours on playing your favorite games on Discord? We’re talking gold coins, fashion items, cash, or a key achievement you unlocked after repeated tries. Instead of keeping them aside to collect dust, what if you can exchange them for cash? 

In 2023, blockchain technology will be recognised as the inevitable infrastructure to manage ownership of items in the Metaverse and eventually in the real world. To infuse the digital and physical spheres, almost all start-ups will build games on technologies that provide long-term value while keeping a high level of transparency and security for your digital items.

Rise of the Metaverse

The hype and influence of the Metaverse will continue to dedicate 2023 to increasing the overall user experience. Leading companies like META are dedicating enormous efforts in this arena and we will no doubt see headline-bearing breakthroughs throughout the year. According to research, gamers will continue to increase in the Middle East and North Africa region. The number of users is said to reach an exponential amount of 85.8m gamers by 2025. Technology advancements and the mass adoption of the web3 strategy are at the forefront of the digital revolution within the gaming industry in all regions of the world. 

If you’re looking for a new game to master, check out Plant IX by Web3 game developer Nibiru Software. The company is amping it up to be the world’s largest NFT-based strategy game. It is based on a dystopian version of planet Earth where your mission is to acquire, collect and develop land mass to help restore the planet to its former glory.
