Google Cloud has teamed up with Solana Labs to launch GameShift, a new Web3 infrastructure platform specifically designed to support gaming applications.

GameShift, now available on Google Cloud Marketplace, gives gaming developers easy access to wallets, tokenized assets, and on-chain markets. This partnership between Google Cloud and Solana Labs is set to drive Web3 growth and gaming innovation.

In the official blog post, Google Cloud outlined its plan to use Web3 technology to revolutionize the gaming industry. The platform aims to help developers unlock this potential with GameShift. Google Cloud stated:

“We want to share with the Google Cloud community the potential for Web3 in games, how GameShift can help developers realize this potential, the safety of using GameShift for Web3, and how GameShift and Google Cloud now work together seamlessly. We welcome anyone interested to reach out to their Google Cloud account manager or to GameShift.”

Commenting on the growing partnerships between gaming studios and Web3 technology platforms, Jack Buser, Director for Games at Google Cloud, said this trend is fueled by the industry’s rapid growth and continuous development. He added that game studios are already handling heavy workloads, and solutions like GameShift could offer an easy path to Web3 through simplified technical and cultural interfaces.

GameShift’s API-First Approach

GameShift’s General Manager, David Hart, emphasized the platform’s API-first approach, which lets game developers integrate Web3 capabilities without needing to be blockchain experts. Revealing the project’s objective, he stated that they want to create “a development and player experience” that takes advantage of the amazing features of Web3.

Additionally, Hart shared details about GameShift’s key strategy of its invisible non-custodial wallet system. This feature promises player security despite the increasing hacks and threats in the blockchain ecosystem. GameShift’s invisible wallet will be protected by its own cryptographic keys that separate assets between users and reduce the risks of unauthorized access.
