The Crypto Connection: Playtron’s Ambitious Plan for a Blockchain-Powered Handheld
The world of handheld gaming is about to get a whole lot more interesting, thanks to the ambitious plans of startup Playtron. With its sights set on creating an Android of PC gaming, the company is taking a bold step into the unknown with its blockchain-powered handheld, the SuiPlay0X1.
Blockchain gaming is the future
But what exactly does this mean for gamers? In a nutshell, the SuiPlay0X1 promises to bring the world of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology to the world of handheld gaming. With Mysten Labs, one of Playtron’s seed investors, on board, the device will natively integrate Sui into its PlaytronOS, allowing gamers to buy and own games on the blockchain.

This means that gamers will be able to purchase and own games on the blockchain, with the added incentive of crypto-incentives and rewards when they buy and play. It’s a bold move, and one that could potentially revolutionize the way we think about gaming.
Gaming on the blockchain
But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. With no specs revealed and a 2025 release date, it’s hard to say whether this handheld will be a hit or a miss. And with PlaytronOS having access to Steam and the Epic Games Store, it’s unclear whether the blockchain aspect will be enough to set it apart from the competition.
“If good Sui-enabled Web3 games don’t materialize, well, PlaytronOS has access to Steam and the Epic Games Store, too, and $500 could be a competitive price for a good handheld by today’s standards.” - [Source]
One thing is for sure, however - the SuiPlay0X1 is an intriguing concept that could potentially change the face of handheld gaming. With its focus on blockchain technology and cryptocurrency, it’s a bold move that could pay off in a big way.
The future of blockchain gaming
As we wait with bated breath for more information on the SuiPlay0X1, one thing is certain - the world of handheld gaming is about to get a whole lot more interesting.
