Web3 gaming platform Immutable partners with AWS

Web3 gaming company Immutable has partnered with AWS for a number of infrastructure and go-to-market initiatives designed to accelerate the onboarding of game studios to Web3 and drive digital ownership of in-game items to millions of gamers globally.

To leverage this opportunity, Immutable has joined AWS’s ISV Accelerate Program, a co-sell program for organisations that provide software solutions that run on or integrate with AWS.

The Sydney-based company said it joined this program to gain access to resources from AWS to help secure prospective customers and close deals with major game studios globally.

Web3-based gaming, which utilises blockchain technology and enables players to own and trade-in game digital assets, is growing rapidly, with 100 million gamers globally expected to be onboarded in the next two years.

Web3 gaming projects building on Immutable can also enrol in AWS Activate, a program that provides startups with AWS credits, technical support, training, resources, and more.

Participants can receive up to US$100,000 in AWS credits to scale on AWS infrastructure while tapping Immutable’s platform in integrating, building, launching, and growing their own Web3 games.

Already, Immutable web3 gaming partners like Magmabyte, a Web3 game developer, have already gone through AWS Activate.

Jason Suen, chief commercial officer at Immutable said the company’s core mission is to accelerate and expand Web3 game development by offering studios the most “comprehensive, powerful, efficient, and user-friendly” blockchain platform available.

“By joining AWS ISV Accelerate and AWS Activate programs, we’re able to provide our vast network of game developers with a turnkey solution for quickly building and scaling Web3 games,” he said.

“Combined with AWS’s world-leading and secure infrastructure, culture of innovation, and expert resources, we are able to scale globally in the most efficient way possible. This is a pivotal moment that will shape the future of game development.”

Immutable said it plans to continue investing in its infrastructure built on AWS so that the company can scale as needed to support its upcoming offerings such as Immutable zkEVM, a blockchain for games that is low-cost, scalable, secure, and compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine, the largest blockchain ecosystem.

Today, the company has more than 150 Web3 gaming partners in its ecosystem, including next-gen AAA titles like Illuvium, Gods Unchained, Guild of Guardians, Metalcore, Galaxy Commanders, Infinite Victory, Shardbound, and many more.
