The market of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) is growing at an exponential rate, witnessing a larger acceptance among the community. In light of this, NFL Rivals, an officially licensed football game developed by Mythical Games has taken a major step forward by entering the world of NFTs. As per their recent update, this mobile game allows its players to buy, sell, and trade NFT player cards on the secondary market using the game’s IOS and Android apps. The announcement of this integrated feature which was previously limited to only Mythical’s web-based marketplace was made on Thursday. The company resorted to taking this bold step post the announcement made by Google on upgrading its Android Play Store policies to facilitate NFT purchase and in-app integration. This integration, however, marks the start of NFTs acceptance to a large audience base.
NFL Rivals and NFTs
NFL Rivals has become one of the most popular football games among sports enthusiasts globally. With the recent news announcing its entry into the world of digital collectibles, enhancing the experience of the players and potentially opening the gateway to a new earning model, it is likely to attract more members to its vibrant community.
At this point, the game does not support the entire marketplace browsing experience which is limited to the web-based Mythical marketplace. However, players who have reached level 4 or higher will have an “Improve My Roster” option on the team Roster menu to purchase the suggested NFT player cards. These purchased NFTs are securely stored in the players’ Mythical account which in return will be connected to the NFL Rival game for the features to become accessible. These NFT player cards owned by the user can be seamlessly added to lineups and put to use during football games.
In order to purchase the suggested NFT player cards through the game’s Android or IOS app, the players need to acquire the game’s new in-game currency called Credits, Credit and not cryptocurrencies which can be acquired using fiat currency from the App Store or Play Store from a bundle of credits available ranging from $1.99 for 140 credit to $99.99 for 7000 credits.
Future Plan of Mythical Games
Mythical Games is the next-generation game technology studio and stands at the forefront of integrating video games with economics led by industry experts. Their team comprises game and platform developers working closely to create a world-class product that inclines the consumer’s interest to the acceptance and adoption of distributed ledger technology through games. Being a leading company when it comes to innovation, Mythical Games has an ambitious roadmap to test out more in-game marketplace integrations in the coming months, according to their most recent blog post.
The integration of NFL Rival mobile games with the NFTSs is a significant forward step towards the mainstream adoption of digital collectibles amongst users. Their newly designed system ensures building an accessible ecosystem to all its players, democratizing the NFT experience with their enhanced gaming experience.
