The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has announced a partnership with game developer nWay to launch the NFT-enabled multiplayer Olympic Games Jam: Beijing 2022.
According to CNBC, users can now download the app on their mobile phone, play a variety of sports-inspired games from the Winter Olympics program, and receive special collectible tokens.
NFT data can be used to gain new character and equipment levels, as well as “super powers” that allow the character to develop greater speed or accuracy. The list of competitions includes a wide variety of winter sports, including skiing and snowboarding.
Users can download Olympic Games Jam: Beijing 2022 from Google Play and Apple App Store. At the same time, the game does not require a cryptocurrency wallet, and the application itself is free. But players will be able to exchange NFTs among themselves, as well as sell and buy tokens.
“The Olympic Games are the biggest sporting event in the world. We can’t imagine a better genre than multiplayer games to get everyone in the world to participate in this action,” said nWay CEO Taehoon Kim.
In the middle of last year, it was reported that the IOC, in partnership with nWay, will release a collection of NFTs, which are icons from various Olympic Games.
