Season 1 Launches With Increased Accessibility
Solana Gaming has kicked off Season 1 of the Solana Game Pass, enhancing the gaming experience by removing the NFT pass requirement that was necessary in the previous season. Instead of minting a pass, players can now engage directly by undertaking various tasks available on Galxe’s Solana Gaming Page. These tasks range from social activities to in-game actions, making the platform more inclusive for all gamers.
Prize Structures and Community Engagement
Unlike the initial season which featured a prize pool of over $10,000, Season 1 boasts an impressive $40,000 prize pool. Gamers accumulate points by completing tasks, and these points serve as entries into a raffle draw held at the season’s end. Solana Gaming also encourages interaction through its Discord server, where players can unlock multipliers and select gaming preferences, further tailoring their gaming experience.
Diverse Gaming Opportunities and Live Events
Weekly missions and game competitions form the core of Season 1, with 1-2 dedicated competitions occurring every week. These are supplemented by various in-game challenges where players can win additional rewards based on their performance. To augment player engagement, Solana Gaming utilizes the X platform for live streaming sessions which feature USDC or NFT giveaways.
Highlight Games of Week 1
The first week of Season 1 spotlights five Solana games, including:
- Star Atlas: A high-fidelity MMO where players are thrust into a futuristic conflict among humans, aliens, and androids.
- PrimeSkill: A PvP focused on skill-testing competitive matches, with FrontStrike as its anticipated new release.
- Cross The Ages: Featuring a strategic card game and an action RPG, both offering players in-game earnings and real-time battle engagements.
- Pikamoon Game: An open-world adventure where players tame and battle with creatures in various competitive modes.
- Octo Gaming: A mobile app encouraging casual gaming with rewards available in both digital and physical forms.
Star Atlas Competition and Additional Campaign
The inaugural competition of the season centers on Star Atlas, running from October 24 to October 27, featuring racing and gunplay matches with a combined prize pool of $1,000 distributed among the top 10 players. Moreover, alongside the Game Pass, Star Atlas conducts its own half-year campaign ‘Iris’ Blessing,’ which complements the Game Pass with additional rewards and double XP opportunities.
Engagement Through Quests and Community Roles
Players earn points through diverse activities including following specific gaming accounts on X, participating in Discord, streaming content viewing, completing in-game missions, and joining new game communities facilitated by Galxe quests. Each task rewards points, increasing participants’ chances in the end-season raffle.
A Season of Continuous Gaming Action
Over the course of the season, more than 30 Solana-supported games will be highlighted. Each week ushers in new quests and gaming focuses, maintaining a vibrant and dynamic gaming environment. Staying active on the Solana Gaming Discord is recommended for the latest updates on quests, game highlights, and community events.
