Solana Labs, in a statement, identified GameShift as a provider of Web3 primitives and actions. These mostly consist of cryptocurrency wallets, tokenized assets, and on-chain markets. By enabling GameShift, the developers can quickly enable Web3 in their existing Cloud game backend services. Currently, the services of GameShift are available on the Google Cloud marketplace. Notably, the statement urged its users to contact the Google Cloud manager or the GameShift Support to acquire the benefits.
Jack Buser, director of Games at Google Cloud stated that Web3 is essential for new growth and development. However, it is being compromised due to the complex technology. He added that the overly burdened game studios can be simplified with solutions like GameShift.
