Google Cloud and Solana Labs are collaborating to shape the future of Web3 gaming by launching the GameShift service.
This innovative suite of tools, now accessible on the Google Cloud Marketplace, enables developers to easily integrate Web3 features into their current Cloud-based game backend services.
Google Teams Up With Solana Labs for Web3 Gaming
The GameShift announcement was made during Solana Breakpoint, where it was disclosed that the platform is specifically created for developers of traditional games wishing to add Web3 functionalities, including non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and digital assets. It streamlines the integration of blockchain services across various platforms, managing much of the technical workload to facilitate a secure and efficient transition to Web3 elements.
This collaboration underscores Google Cloud’s ongoing commitment to Web3, expanding on initiatives like the Blockchain Node Engine, Web3 BigQuery datasets, and the Web3 for Startups program. By partnering with Solana, Google Cloud connects with a premier blockchain network renowned for its speed, reliability, and achievements in NFTs, decentralized exchanges, and stablecoins.
For Solana, this partnership creates an opportunity to onboard millions of users via a unified platform backed by Google Cloud.
“Our objective in developing GameShift is to deliver a development and player experience that closely resembles existing services while capitalizing on the unique features of Web3,” stated GameShift general manager Davis Hart in the announcement read.
