Mysten Labs and Playtron Reveals Open Gaming Handheld

Mysten Labs, the company behind the Sui blockchain, has partnered with Playtron to introduce an open gaming handheld called SuiPlay OX1.

Unveiled at the Sui Basecamp event in Paris, the partnership aims to establish a mass market for web3 games, and comes amidst an increasing trend towards blockchain integration in gaming like the recently announced Ordz Games’ Bitcoin-enabled BitBoy.

The device will run on PlaytronOS, a gaming operating system compatible with various hardware configurations, allowing access to multiple game stores, including Steam and the Epic Games Store, through a unified launcher.

Scheduled for a global release in 2025, the SuiPlay0X1 will feature native web3 capabilities, integrating Sui blockchain technology for asset ownership directly linked to the device’s account system.

Kirt McMaster, CEO of Playtron, shared, “We’re building a new gaming operating system right to open up the PC. Effectively, we’re attempting to extract the PC gaming ecosystem from Windows and recontextualize in our own operating system.”

With partnerships already secured with several game developers, Mysten Labs aims to ensure a diverse range of games for SuiPlay 0X1 users.

Adeniyi Abiodun, Chief Product Officer at Mysten Labs, also added, “We’ve been looking at how we go to market with this, but we think you have to have a device that makes sense, where people can actually value the utility and all the benefits that they can get of ownership, incentives and how they can have a better ownership experience around everything they do online.”
