The Beijing Winter Olympic Games have announced their plans for an officially licensed play-to-earn party game. The game was launched the day before the Opening Ceremony of the games, which was yesterday. The game will be titled ‘Olympic Games Jam: Beijing 2022’.
About the P2E game
The Olympics committee unveiled the Olympic Games Jam: Beijing 2022, which is significantly the officially licensed play-to-earn game. It is a multiplayer party game where players compete in many winter sports to earn Olympic digital NFT pins.
The game is being built by nWay, which is a subsidiary of Animoca Brands in a collab with the International Olympic Committee. It is set to feature many arcade-style winter sports where players can specifically show off their skills in various sports.
Users are generally able to fully customise their avatar to bring uniqueness to the Winter Olympics Games-based game. Notably, the game is available on Android, and it’s set to be launched on iOS soon. It will receive new updates throughout. The game also lets players earn NFTs. Further, you can find a detailed roadmap on their website.
Collectors can get the NFT pins in three ways:
1. Earning them by playing Olympic Games Jam: Beijing 2022
2. Buying boxes on nWayPlay.com
3. Purchasing specific pins from other users on the nWayPlay marketplace.
Holders of the NFTs given will gain access to higher tiers of play within the game.
