Solana Labs & Google Cloud Unveil ‘GameShift’ for Game Developers

Solana Labs has teamed up with Google Cloud to launch GameShift, a new platform that will help developers integrate Web3 technology into games. Now available on Google Cloud Marketplace, the Web3 infrastructure platform makes it easier than ever before for game developers to integrate blockchain technology, in-game assets like NFTs, crypto payments and transactions, and NFT marketplaces into their games. They also have seamless access to on-chain markets, tokenized assets, and wallets.

The partnership between Solana Labs, the San Francisco based technology company that built the Solana blockchain, and Google Cloud is expected to drive innovation for years to come in the Web3 gaming sector — and GameShift could prove to be a big of part of that future. 

In a blog post, Google Cloud wrote they wanted to “share with the Google Cloud community the potential for Web3 in games,” and that “GameShift and Google Cloud now work together seamlessly.” Jack Buser, the Director for Games at Google Cloud, added that game studios have a lot on their plate, and that GameShift offers a solution by simplifying the process.

The API-first approach form GameShift will let developers integrate Web3 tech without needing to experts on blockchain, freeing them up to focus on other elements such as gameplay, which has always been pivotal to the evolution of Web3 gaming.  GameShift will also feature an “invisible” non-custodial wallet system protected by cryptographic keys that divide assets between users, ultimately reducing the risk of someone getting unauthorized access..
