HyperPlay game store launches MetaMask Snaps in wallet overlay
The Web3 game store integrated its wallet with Snaps, allowing for greater multichain compatibility and other features.
PC game launcher HyperPlay integrated its wallet overlay with MetaMask Snaps, allowing players to use custom wallet apps within its games, according to a Dec. 19 announcement.
HyperPlay is a game launcher similar to Steam, Epic Games Store and GoG (formerly Good Old Games) but with the unique feature of having a built-in version of Web3 wallet MetaMask displayed as an overlay. According to the launcher’s developer, this overlay allows blockchain gamers to confirm transactions directly within games instead of navigating to a browser wallet.
MetaMask Snaps is a feature that allows third-party developers to create apps that run within MetaMask. It launched on Sept. 12, but at the time, HyperPlay’s overlay feature did not work with it. The latest announcement confirms that the two features have become fully integrated through a HyperPlay software upgrade.
