As a seasoned analyst with a decade-long career in the tech industry, I’ve witnessed the evolution of blockchain technology and its applications from a front-row seat. The recent announcements by Play Solana and Mysten Labs about their web3 gaming consoles are reminiscent of the early days of the internet, when pioneers dared to dream up revolutionary devices that would change the way we interact with digital content.
Participants within the Solana ecosystem have been interested in mobile devices ever since the launch of the Saga phone, and now a team working with Solana has declared their investment in web3 gaming.
In under twenty-four hours before the Solana (SOL) Breakpoint conference in Singapore, a team native to Solana unveiled their project – Play Solana – by announcing the first handheld gaming console developed on the layer-1 blockchain. This startup has christened its gaming device as the “Play Solana Gen1” or “PSG1.” Some social media users have pointed out that it bears a resemblance to vintage gaming machines, like the well-known Nintendo Game Boy.
The gaming gadget is expected to come equipped with compatibility for SOL‘s decentralized network, however, the precise web3 games it will offer are still under wraps. It’s also worth noting that PlaySolana hinted at potential design variations from the promotional visuals, and a release date has yet to be announced.
