Gaming has been hot this week, even before GDC. Here’s what we found interesting.
@AxieInfinity's MMO, Atia’s Legacy, surged with 6.5 million pre-registrations, 9.9 million trailer views, nearly 1 million YouTube views, and a 25,000 $AXS reward pool for top referrers. Is this Axie’s blockchain gaming comeback?
@mypethooligan MPH shared phenomenal news when they announced they'll be coming to Xbox soon, so remember to hit that wishlist button.
And while we're on the topic of Xbox, let's get into some web2 gaming news.
XenonRecomp, created by GitHub's hedge-dev, is an open-source tool that converts Xbox 360 games into C++ code.
It turns classic 360 games into native PC executables on x86 platforms, and it works for the Steam Deck too. This is a step up for retro gaming and game preservation beyond emulators. Which classics would you replay first?
The Nintendo Switch 2, releasing in April, is expected to cost $400+ and is predicted to be the largest console release to date.
We expect more exciting news to come from GDC. What other gaming news (Web2 & Web3) caught your eye this week?
