Pi Network Enters Web3 Gaming with CiDi Games Partnership

Pi Network has partnered with CiDi Games to expand the utility of its Pi coin and its presence in Web3 gaming.

The two companies will integrate Pi into several games developed by CiDi to engage Pi’s global community of users, known as Pioneers, and support developers within the ecosystem.

CiDi could help strengthen Pi Network’s position in gaming by making Pi a medium for in-game purchases and by scaling the blockchain’s gaming infrastructure.

“Pi’s natural fit with, and ongoing development of, gaming serves as the foundation for the partnership and complements Pi’s broader, coordinated approach to ecosystem growth,” the blog stated.

### Web3 games could add Pi coin use cases

The Pi Core development team explained that this partnership with CiDi will expand the Pi token’s utility, clarify the roadmap for game creators, and encourage daily engagement from Pioneers.

“Pi Network and CiDi Games is a two-way feedback loop, where developers can draw users from Pi’s large community while new gaming utilities enhance the ecosystem through innovation, content creation and user involvement,” the team said.

Pi Network has been investing in gaming-focused initiatives for several years, including hackathons, incubation programs, pre-built integrations, and monetization services. The Pi Ad Network, a built-in advertising system, offers revenue opportunities for creators, forming the basis for token-based transactions within games.

In May, the blockchain project collaborated with Canadian studio The Article 19 Group to launch Fruity Pi, an augmented reality (AR) game where players shoot fruits by answering math questions correctly.

FruityPi features Pi payments, the Pi Ad Network, and wallet-level integration. The team mentioned this serves as a “template” demonstrating how sustainable and inclusive app development can be within the ecosystem.

CiDi Games plans to build on this foundation with a dedicated library of titles specifically for the Pi ecosystem through a new H5 Game Platform, a lightweight, fast, casual, and accessible HTML5 gaming hub.

### PI token builds momentum with Web3 game news and rumored update

The partnership comes as Pi Network’s token shows mixed market performance this week. The coin recorded a 2% gain over the past 24 hours, continuing its monthly upward trend of over 11% to trade at $0.25 at the time of this report.

Pi was consolidating between $2.2 and $2.4 during Wednesday afternoon US trading sessions before briefly approaching $0.26 just after the CiDi Web3 gaming partnership news broke. A brief correction on Thursday morning pulled Pi’s price back, settling it slightly below that level and flipping the weekly gains into the red with a 1.17% downturn.

Pi’s market capitalization also surpassed the $2 billion mark again, overtaking meme token PEPE and Ethereum-based synthetic dollar protocol Ethena.

According to market watchers, social media chatter about an upcoming “update” to the network appears to be one of the forces behind the positive price movement. Pi community members have been discussing rumors about network changes for over a week, claiming it may arrive on November 28.

### New multiplayer RPG launches alpha test on Epic Games store

In other Web3 gaming news, the transmedia sci-fi fantasy universe Cross The Ages has launched the alpha testing stage for Arise, its new multiplayer action RPG, now available on the Epic Games Store.

Arise is the second title within the Cross The Ages ecosystem, introducing real-time multiplayer action, dungeons, and player-versus-player battles. Cross The Ages partnered with Hong Kong-incorporated gaming software company Animoca Brands in 2021 to support Arise’s blockchain gaming, token design, and market ambitions.

Developers stated that Arise is designed to build on the community created by Cross The Ages: Blast, the project’s collectible card game that has sold more than forty million digital cards. Players can add Arise to their wishlist on Steam, but the current test phase is available only through the Epic Games Store.
