Planet-X will launch on Xai with real-world prizes including a Tesla Cybertruck

Game Launch and Platform Transition

Planet-X, a free-to-play extraction shooter game, is preparing to integrate with the Xai ecosystem on Ethereum. The game will offer players opportunities to win real-world prizes through in-game treasure hunts.

Available in open beta on iOS and Android, Planet-X previously operated on Ethereum but will now use Ethereum’s layer-3 scaling network, Xai, which leverages Arbitrum scaling technology.

New Features and Rewards

In-game items will be minted as NFTs on Xai, and a new token, Gallax (GLX), will be introduced. Players will search for two types of treasure chests: common yellow chests with X-Tokens and rare red chests with both X-Tokens and instant prize wins. X-Tokens can be exchanged for prizes in the X-Vault.

Screenshots reveal Xai-branded chests in the game, with potential prizes including Apple products. A notable addition is a Tesla Cybertruck, which will be awarded through an upcoming in-game event. During its closed beta, the game distributed $50,000 worth of prizes.

Developer’s Vision

Planet-X founder and CEO James Ashton expressed enthusiasm about the game’s unique combination of entertainment and tangible rewards, stating that the team has dedicated four years to creating this experience.

The game will remain free-to-play with optional purchases. To compete for real-world prizes, players need a free “hunt pass,” available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
