The Passport Unveiled
Immutable’s Passport tool addresses a significant challenge in web3 gaming – the lack of seamless user acquisition and the hurdles associated with managing digital assets across different gaming platforms.
According to Robbie Ferguson, President, and co-founder of Immutable, the Passport tool is designed to “increase user acquisition, optimize transaction conversion rates, and give players a smooth, seamless experience.”
“Ask any web3 game or marketplace about the biggest barrier to adoption, and they’ll talk about user acquisition,” said Robbie Ferguson.

Initial Rollout
The Passport tool’s initial rollout encompasses five gaming titles and marketplaces, making it available to a user base exceeding 500,000.
The featured games and marketplaces include renowned names like “Gods Unchained,” “Blocklete Golf,” “Bleacher Report Watch2Earn,” TokenTrove, and AtomicHub.
Fostering a Better Gaming Experience
While the exact mechanics of how digital assets will seamlessly transition between different games remain unclear, Immutable envisions the Passport tool fostering a more enjoyable and immersive gaming experience.
This interoperability is a departure from the conventional model where games operate independently, and users face challenges with asset portability.
“If you want to alienate gamers, ask them to create a wallet every time they sign up and tell them they can’t take their assets or achievements with them from game to game, ” said Daniel Paez, VP, and Executive Producer of “Gods Unchained”.
Breaking Barriers to Adoption
Immutable recognizes the critical role Passport plays in overcoming barriers to widespread web3 adoption, especially in the gaming sector.
By eliminating the need for users to create wallets for each game and enabling the transfer of assets and achievements between games, Passport addresses a longstanding obstacle in the industry.
“This has long been a major obstacle to widespread web3 adoption, not just for gaming but for a range of applications,” said Daniel Paez.
