With over 200 games committed to building on Immutable, representing nearly 70% of the market share, 2024 is poised to witness the launch of numerous games and a surge in player adoption.

The chain also introduces gas-free functionality for gamers using Immutable Passport, streamlining the user experience and enabling seamless gameplay and trading without gas fees.
The Immutable zkEVM Mainnet is currently live in early access mode, with a Mainnet deployer allowlist ensuring smooth operations and user safety.
While select game studios and ecosystem partners have initial access, developers can deploy Immutable’s preset smart contract templates and access the Immutable zkEVM Testnet.
