"The agreement could bring blockchain integrations and NFTs to the popular battle-royale style game".Video game developer Krafton announced a partnership with Solana Labs on Wednesday that could bring non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to its popular battle-royale game PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG).
South Korea-based Krafton said its plans for the Solana Labs partnership include the “development and operation of blockchain and NFT-based games and services,” according to a press release.
A source familiar with the deal told CoinDesk the partnership is a memorandum of understanding, meaning Krafton can still pull the plug on the partnership without legal repercussions.
PUBG is one of the all-time top downloaded games on the Steam platform, with an active user base in the tens of millions; it was reported to have as many as 696,000 active users playing concurrently in early 2022. The game is second in popularity in the battle-royale genre only to Epic Games' Fortnite.

PUBG entering the nft metaverse world and bringing their millions of users along with it, some people keep saying nft is all about hype and will die soon, but everyday we keep seeing big names in the gaming industry entering the nft metaverse space to connect to blockchain and utilize its potential. Am particularly trilled about this news, am one of the million users of this game.
This is how the nft space will grow, when real gaming industries decided to take advantage of the nft space to build standard gaming experience for users. i believe these are the type of projects that will really make a difference in this space and can also make p2e worth it (if they will enable it).
