Playtron, a leading gaming operating system, announced plans to roll out Game Dollar, with support from stablecoin platform, M0, and payments platform Bridge. Game Dollar will be a stablecoin for gaming that will be used to power purchases, subscriptions, and rewards across Playtron’s and other gaming ecosystems in the future. Game Dollar will be used to power Playtron’s GameOS, aiming to unify gaming ecosystems across platforms, where gaming economies remain mostly siloed.
The announcement was made on stage at Sui Basecamp in Dubai, as the stablecoin is expected to be used on the SuiPlay0X1, a new, first-of-its-kind handheld gaming console, allowing for payments and rewards across a wide range of PC games, as well as new titles developed using the Sui blockchain within the console.
With Game Dollar, Playtron seeks to create a neutral, programmable financial layer across games and gaming marketplaces, offering a seamless, consistent experience for payments and rewards. Game Dollar will be built on top of the M0 stablecoin platform and leverages Bridge’s payments APIs to support game marketplaces, publishers, and gamers. Game Dollar will initially launch exclusively on Sui.
“Playtron’s GameOS reimagines how we play the games we love. Through this lens it became clear: stablecoins will become a financial backbone for the $500B global gaming economy. That’s why Playtron is excited to announce Game Dollar, the stablecoin built for games and ready to handle massive transaction volume over the next decade,” said Kirt McMaster, co-founder and CEO of Playtron. “Game Dollar will unlock new economic models for developers and marketplaces while enabling consumer incentives only possible via programmable dollars.”
“Programmable stablecoins are the next evolution of digital assets, and Game Dollar is a powerful example of how this innovation unlocks utility for one of the world’s most dynamic sectors,” said Adeniyi Abiodun, Co-Founder and CPO of Mysten Labs. “We’re witnessing the start of a new era where gamers not only play, but participate in dynamic, self-sustaining economies.”
“We’re excited to see Playtron harness M0’s universal stablecoin platform to reimagine the gaming payments experience in a unique way,” said Luca Prosperi, co-founder and CEO at M0. “This collaboration highlights the power of programmable money applied to real-world use cases, and our vision is that this is how the payments and rewards experiences of the future will look like.”
“Gaming is a global community, and financial access shouldn’t be a barrier. With Bridge powering seamless entry and exit points for Game Dollar, we’re making digital economies more inclusive for players—and radically simpler for developers,” said Zach Abrams, CEO at Bridge. “They get stable, ready-to-use payments infrastructure that takes care of compliance and enables a global reach out of the box.”
