Popular centralised exchange and NFT marketplace OKX and gaming-focused blockchain Immutable have announced the impending release of a launchpad for web3 gaming NFTs.
This will allow users to purchase tokenised in-game items and other game-related NFTs for titles on Immutable’s zkEVM network, made possible thanks to OKX’s integration of the Immutable zkEVM.
As part of this launch, Immutable will integrate the OKX wallet within their existing chain-wide web3 profile, the Immutable Passport, plus incorporate OKX’s NFT marketplace into Immutable’s NFT order book.

What does OKX x Immutable mean for players?
This partnership is the latest in a string of headline-grabbing moves from Immutable. Exactly one year ago, they announced a key partnership with fellow gaming and entertainment-focused blockchain, Polygon. Six months ago, they formed an official partnership with Amazon Web Services, and just a few months ago, they made public a working relationship with Ubisoft’s Strategic Innovation Lab.
The collaboration between OKX and Immutable comes at a time when many of Immutable’s leading titles, which have been in development for many years, are building towards long-awaited releases, including mobile RPG title Guild of Guardians, MMOFPS title MetalCore, and tactical TCG Shardbound.
Robbie Ferguson, Co-founder and President of Immutable, said; “Collaborating with OKX aligns with our mission to bring digital proprietorship to every gamer in the world. OKX’s robust ecosystem and cutting-edge technology combined with Immutable’s web3 gaming expertise allows us to open new gaming experiences for millions of players worldwide.”
Jason Lau, Chief Innovation Officer at OKX, also shared; “With over 270 titles in development on Immutable’s zkEVM, OKX wallet users are poised to enjoy a seamless onboarding process, gameplay, and management of their in-game assets.”
The web3 gaming launchpad is scheduled for release in the coming months, possibly to coincide with the release of Guild of Guardians on May 15.
