Exciting News for Gamers: Moonray Studios Announces Xbox Series X Launch
Developer Moonray Studios has revealed that its popular web3 game, Moonray, will soon be available on Xbox Series X, with a PlayStation 5 release to follow later this year. This expansion into major consoles marks a significant milestone for the studio, which has been focused on PC gaming until now.
Web3 Gaming Goes Mainstream
Moonray Studios co-founder, Hans Andersson, expressed his excitement about bringing web3 gaming to consoles, calling it a “monumental step” for the industry. The move not only showcases the quality and ambition of the project but also sets a precedent for blockchain-based gaming in mainstream gaming.
Additionally, the studio is also working on a mobile auto-battler to further expand the Moonray ecosystem, catering to a wider audience of gamers.
Investment and Success
With over $10 million in funding from investors like Animoca Brands and Republic, Moonray has made significant strides in the gaming industry. The game’s ecosystem is powered by the MNRY token, which has gained traction on major centralized exchanges.
In November 2024, Moonray made headlines with one of the largest NFT mints on OpenSea, demonstrating strong demand for its digital assets.
Immersive Multiplayer Combat
Moonray offers players a AAA multiplayer battle arena experience with intense melee combat. Players can engage in various game modes, including 4v4 team battles, 8-player deathmatch, 1v1 duels, and objective-based team missions, set in a post-human world with stunning visuals and challenging gameplay.
Diversifying the Entertainment Landscape
Aside from gaming, Moonray Studios is venturing into graphic novels, with titles like “Mother’s Skin” and “Echoes of Ascension” already available in thousands of stores across North America and the UK. This multi-platform approach underscores Moonray’s commitment to creating a diverse entertainment ecosystem.
What’s on the Horizon?
While specific launch dates for Xbox and PlayStation playtests are yet to be announced, Moonray is already working on porting the game to consoles. Playtests for all consoles are scheduled for the second half of 2025, with more details to follow.
As Moonray expands to mainstream consoles, it has the potential to drive greater adoption of blockchain-integrated games, bringing web3 mechanics to a wider gaming audience.
