Web3 PS5 Games

Off the Grid

Launched in October 2024, Gunzilla’s dystopian cybernetic battle-royale shooter “Off The Grid” is the first and only Web3 title playable on the PlayStation 5 right now in early access.

It’s built on a custom L1 network called the GUNZ Network, which is based on the Avalanche (AVAX) blockchain. Notably, the GUNZ mainnet is set to launch nodes on April 17, 2025, sparking hope that the game’s full launch is happening this year.

Following in the footsteps of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG), Fortnite, Apex, and Escape from Tarkov, Off The Grid drops you into intense player-vs-player and player-vs-environment game modes where players duke it out to be the last one standing.

The blockchain side of the game comes as an optional extra. You can play the game and its story in its entirety without ever engaging with the non-fungible tokens (NFTs) or the marketplace available.

If players decide they wish to engage with the Web3 elements, they can convert specific items collected in-game and then mint weapons, armor, and upgrades as NFTs, which will be unique to their character and tied to their account.

These can then be sold on the platform’s marketplace.

2025 Launches

Moonray

Developed by Moonray Studios and launched in 2024, Moonray is a battle arena featuring some pretty awesome-looking ranged and melee combat with a number of game modes to play.

It’s built on the Ethereum blockchain and is integrated with Coinbase’s Base network, offering optional Web3 features such as NFTs, which represent in-game assets like character skins, as well as the MNRY token, which can be used for in-game purchases, rewards, and other interactions.

It’s currently in ‘alpha’ mode as a free-to-play title on the Epic Game Store, and has plans to launch on the PS5 this year. At present, the porting process is underway, and playtests have been scheduled for H2 2025.

Interestingly, the game’s PS5 version will reportedly be stripped of its Web3 features at launch due to Sony’s strict policies. It’s unknown if this is a permanent decision, as Off The Grid is seemingly able to offer optional Web3 features and operate in a gray area with its custom blockchain and ‘early access’ status.

This could change depending on market trends, regulatory concerns, and overall development in the Web3 gaming space. If Off the Grid can succeed and launch fully on PlayStation 5 with optional Web3 features, Moonray could do the same.

Paradise Tycoon

Paradise Tycoon is a multiplayer simulation and tycoon game akin to the wildly popular Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley titles. Set in a beautiful tropical metaverse, players are invited to manage and build up an uninhabited island and turn it into their own personalized paradise.

It’s currently available in Beta form on Windows, iOS, and Android, and it features Web3 features, such as NFT requirements have not yet been implemented.

It’s built on the Avalanche blockchain, and when fully launched, invites players to hire NFT-based crew members to increase their output through automated tasks, collaborate and trade with other players, as well as participate in regular events and quests.

Through such activities, players can earn the game’s native MOANI tokens and use them for various in-game interactions.

Similar to Moonray, this game may also drop its Web3 features for its PS5 launch. However, also similarly to Moonray, its blockchain and crypto features have always been optional, suggesting that over time, it could reintroduce Web3 mechanics.

KOMPETE (Unconfirmed)

KOMPETE is a free-to-play multiplayer game and currently has two game modes, a fast-paced battle-royale shooter, and a Mario Kart-style racing mode featuring bazookas. At present, it’s developing a basketball game with plans to add many more games.

It’s built on the Ethereum blockchain and is integrated with Coinbase’s Base network.

This cross-platform title is currently in early access on Windows, Epic Game Store, iOS, and Android. According to its website, it’s coming to PlayStation, and that could be at some point this year.

Players can own and trade cosmetics in the form of NFTs, and the game features a native crypto token, $KOMPETE, which is used for in-game transactions, tournament participation, and ultimately distributed as a reward to players.

As it’s cross-platform and part of an ever-expanding ecosystem of games, KOMPETE may be one of the more important Web3 titles to launch on the PlayStation 5, when it does.

A 10,000-Word Interpretation of the "Optical Interconnect" Industry Chain: The AI Infrastructure Bottleneck Obscured by GPU Glare

**Summary: The Rise of Optical Interconnect in AI Infrastructure** This analysis explores the critical, yet often overlooked, role of optical interconnects in large-scale AI data centers. While GPUs provide raw computational power, the efficiency of AI clusters depends heavily on high-speed data transfer between thousands of cooperating GPUs during both training and inference tasks. Copper-based electrical connections are hitting physical limits in bandwidth, distance, and power consumption. Fiber optics, using light signals, offer a superior solution with exponentially higher bandwidth and lower energy use over longer distances. This shift is driving rapid growth in the optical interconnect market. The core translation device is the pluggable optical transceiver (or module), which converts electrical signals from GPUs into optical signals for fiber transmission and vice versa. Its manufacturing involves two distinct semiconductor domains: indium phosphide (InP) for optical chips (lasers, modulators, detectors) and silicon for digital signal processing (DSP) chips. A transformative next-generation technology is Co-Packaged Optics (CPO). CPO moves the optical engine (a silicon photonic integrated circuit, or PIC) much closer to the GPU or switch inside the same chip package, drastically reducing power loss and latency. CPO necessitates an external laser source and relies on silicon photonics (using Silicon-on-Insulator/SOI wafers) for integration with silicon chips. The optical interconnect ecosystem is highly fragmented, unlike the concentrated GPU market. Key bottlenecks and players span the entire supply chain: InP substrates (e.g., AXT), epitaxial wafers (e.g., IQE), laser chips (e.g., Sivers, Lumentum, Coherent), silicon photonics foundries (e.g., Tower Semiconductor), SOI wafers (e.g., Soitec), DSP/switch chips (e.g., Broadcom, Marvell), and underlying fiber (e.g., Corning). The article posits that AI infrastructure competition is extending from "who has more GPUs" to "who can secure the scarce optical interconnect supply chain." CPO represents the largest potential growth variable, with projections suggesting it could become a market worth tens of billions of dollars by 2028. Investment opportunities vary from conservative (large, diversified players) to aggressive (small, high-beta companies focused on specific bottleneck technologies), but the sector carries significant volatility and execution risks.

a16z: RWA Has Passed the Proof of Concept, but the Real Challenges Are Just Beginning

a16z highlights that the tokenized real-world asset (RWA) market, excluding stablecoins, has grown tenfold in under two years to roughly $340 billion. This surge is primarily driven by US Treasury bonds and gold, offering investors yield on idle stablecoins and providing institutions with more efficient settlement and collateral flows. However, the core insight is that most tokenized assets today are simply digital certificates for off-chain holdings—used for ownership and transfer but not deeply integrated into DeFi as composable financial building blocks. For instance, only about 5% of tokenized bonds ($8B) are actively used in DeFi protocols. Smaller categories like reinsurance tokens show much higher DeFi utilization (84%), indicating they were designed for on-chain composability from the start. The market remains concentrated, with US Treasuries and commodities comprising two-thirds of the total. Gold dominates the commodities segment. While Ethereum holds over half the market, activity is spreading across multiple chains like BNB Chain and Solana. Predictions for the market's future size vary widely (from $2 trillion to over $30 trillion by 2030/2034), reflecting different definitions of what constitutes tokenization. All agree on significant growth. The current market is minuscule compared to traditional finance (e.g., tokenized bonds are 0.01% of the global bond market). The key takeaway is that the initial "proof-of-concept" phase for moving familiar assets on-chain is proving successful. The next, harder challenge is moving more complex financial instruments onto blockchains and enabling true on-chain composability, where these assets become programmable components within a native digital financial system, rather than just digitized records.

The Wind of 'Proactive' AI Blows into Silicon Valley: Hark Secures $700 Million in Funding

Hark, an AI startup founded in late 2025, has raised $700 million in Series A funding at a $6 billion valuation. Led by Parkway Venture Capital with participation from NVIDIA, AMD Ventures, Intel Capital, Qualcomm Ventures, and Salesforce Ventures, the company aims to develop next-generation human-computer interfaces using a combination of proprietary foundational models and custom-built AI-native hardware. Founded by serial entrepreneur Brett Adcock, Hark envisions a system of multimodal devices equipped with agentic capabilities, end-to-end voice models, and personalized memory. This "active" AI approach seeks to move beyond passive chatbots, creating collaborative companions that anticipate needs and interact naturally within the real world. Adcock's experience with Figure, a humanoid robotics company, informs this hardware-focused venture. The article argues that while current AI is powerful, it remains confined to screens and traditional interfaces like chat. The next paradigm shift requires dedicated hardware that is always-on, possesses persistent memory, and enables intuitive interaction, potentially rivaling the impact of the iPhone. Hark is assembling a team with talent from Apple, Meta, Google, and Tesla to tackle this complex engineering challenge across models, hardware, and interaction design. Finally, the piece suggests Chinese startups may have an advantage in this "active" AI hardware space due to strong manufacturing ecosystems, a vast domestic market, and supportive government policies, framing the competition as one that requires integrated progress in models, operating systems, and devices.
