In anticipation of the Xbox Series X release, Moonray Studios has revealed a daring new addition for its blockbuster web3 game, Moonray. The studio’s move beyond PC gaming is indicated by this development, which comes after its anticipated PlayStation 5 debut later this year. Since its July 2024 launch on the Epic Games Store, Moonray has drawn more than 400,000 distinct wallet connections to its ecosystem. In an effort to reach a larger audience, the studio is now planning to release its blockchain-based game on major platforms.
This expansion represents a monumental moment for web3 gaming. Hans Andersson, Moonray Studios co-founder and Chief Business Officer, highlighted the significance of the move: “We are beyond thrilled to show the world just how far web3 gaming can go,” he said.
Andersson emphasized that launching on consoles is not just a technological upgrade, but a strategic step to demonstrate the quality and ambition behind the project. Alongside the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 versions, the studio has confirmed that a mobile auto-battler is in development, further broadening the Moonray ecosystem.
Investment in the project has been robust. With over $10 million raised from prominent backers like Animoca Brands and Republic, Moonray is powered by its native MNRY token. This ERC-20 asset launched on major centralized exchanges, including ByBit, KuCoin, Gate.io, and MEXC, underscores the project’s financial and technological strength.
Moonray also made headlines in November 2024 when it minted over 220,000 in-game character items on OpenSea in just 48 hours—a record that reflects strong market demand. The game features AAA multiplayer combat in various modes such as 4v4 team battles, 8-player deathmatches, 1v1 duels, and objective-based missions set in a post-human world.
Moreover, Moonray Studios is diversifying into graphic novels, having already released “Mother’s Skin” and “Echoes of Ascension,” available in over 4,000 stores across North America and the UK. This multi-platform approach is part of the studio’s vision to create an interconnected entertainment ecosystem that fuses gaming, storytelling, and blockchain technology.
