JAKARTA – The leading US game and merchandise retail store, GameStop has reportedly announced the launch of the NFT marketplace developed on Immutable X. Not only that, GameStop's NFT marketplace will also trade a number of Web3 games such as Gods Unchained, and DC comic card game, Hro.

Gamestop's NFT marketplace can be accessed at the live domain: nft.gamestop.com and connects to Ethereum Immutable X's layer two (L2) scaling solution. Unlike typical NFT marketplaces such as Opensea, Looksrare, and Rarible, Gamestop NFT offers "100% cost-free and carbon-neutral printing and trading to users," the official website reads.

Along with a transaction fee or gas fee-free experience, the newly launched Gamestop NFT says users can buy, sell and create NFTs at "high speed".

“Today's launch of the Gamestop NFT Marketplace means that we can now provide access to millions of additional NFT, more top-notch Web3 games currently in development, while maintaining a best-in-class experience for players,” said Robbie Ferguson, president and co-founder. Immutable X, reported by Bitcoin.com News.

The news follows Gamestop's partnership with the US FTX exchange, which aims to bring Gamestop customers to the FTX community and marketplace for crypto assets. Gamestop detailed that certain retail stores will carry FTX brand gift cards and "Gamestop will be FTX's preferred retail partner in the United States."

GameStop's launch of NFT marketplace and FTX partnership also follows the company releasing its own Gamestop-branded crypto wallet in late May. When navigating the nft.gamestop.com marketplace, the connect tab shows three wallet options which include Gamestop Wallet, Walletconnect, and Metamask.

As far as Web3 games are concerned, the Gamestop NFT Marketplace features the trading card game "Gods Unchained," the chess game "Immortal Game," the RPG game "Guild of Guardians," the MMORPG game "Ember Swords," the 8 and 16-bit game "Bitverse," and DC Comics NFT's official trading card game "Hro."
