This Week in Crypto Games: B3's Self-Destruct PC, Avalanche Battle Pass
B3, a layer-3 gaming protocol on Ethereum's Base network, has acquired Andromeda Insights to enter the hardware market. This acquisition allows B3 to manage the entire gaming stack, including the launch of the B3PC, a crypto-focused gaming PC featuring a self-destruct storage drive and integrated hardware wallet. Preorders for the B3PC require a $200 deposit, with delivery expected in Q1 2026. Avalanche has introduced a free-to-mint NFT called the Avalanche Battle Pass to enhance its gaming ecosystem and reward players for cross-game participation. The pass, available on Magic Eden, supports over a dozen games and allows players to earn rewards like in-game NFTs and AVAX tokens. Despite challenges in blockchain gaming, Avalanche reports strong user engagement, with games like Off the Grid and MapleStory N attracting significant daily users.
