GameCredits to share blockchain tech with Unity's game developers
Global blockchain company GameCredits has agreed a deal with Unity Technologies to bring blockchain solutions to the $100bn videogame industry. The deal includes the integration of GameCredits' GPlay platform into Unity's development software, a move that allows developers to publish directly on to the platform, and GPlay said it will share 90% of gross revenue, paid within 60 hours. Earlier this year, GameCredits raised $53m through a crowdsale. The companies are expected to focus on mobile gaming and eSports, both rapidly growing markets.

GameCredits Inc., a blockchain company driving innovation in the video gaming industry has announced the firm has signed a deal with Unity Technologies, creator of the world’s most popular creation engine, that will bring the benefits of blockchain to more than 3 billion devices and millions of game developers worldwide.

Through this deal, both companies will introduce novel forms of game distribution for the $100 billion* gaming industry, placing a particular focus on the fast-growing world of mobile gaming and eSports. GameCredits’ mobile game store, GPlay, will be integrated with Unity’s game-development ecosystem and developers will be able to effortlessly publish their games directly into GPlay. GPlay will share 90% of gross revenue (instead of the industry standard 70%), and will pay developers within 60 hours (instead of 60 days).

Unity exists to democratize development, solve hard problems and enable success — three core values that are the driving forces of Unity’s adoption by millions of creators. Unity powers more than 50% of all new mobile games and over 2/3rds of all AR and VR content. Interactive content made with Unity reaches nearly 3 billion devices worldwide.

Following a record-breaking $53 million crowdsale earlier this year, GameCredits has been developing a suite of blockchain products for the gaming industry, all under its GPlay initiative. GameCredits recently joined Hyperledger, a Linux Foundation blockchain consortium whose members include IBM, Intel, Cisco, American Express, JP Morgan and other leaders from various industries.

GamesCredits will introduce its blockchain solutions at Unite – the popular developers conferences in Melbourne, Singapore and India in the next few weeks.
