Perion Labs has inked a strategic agreement with Shrapnel to power new energy in the gaming world with its proprietary platform, XP.GG. Developed by an experienced team that has worked on blockbuster games like Halo and Call of Duty, XP.GG ensures high-quality standards and expertise.
The gaming platform offers players the opportunity to earn rewards while playing their favourite games, and there’s even a Universal Battle Pass across all XP.GG games.
“XP.GG represents a new world that merges web3 and web2 gaming,” said Tony Valcarcel, Head of Marketing at Shrapnel. “We’re excited to be the first web3 game on the XP.GG platform—Shrapnel will help XP.GG take their offering further for gamers to get good and get rewarded.”
XP.GG Launch and Integration into Gaming Platform
August 1, 2024, XP.GG will be launched with favourite titles such as Fortnite, Counter-Strike 2, and Overwatch at the start. The platform features monthly additions to the game library. Shrapnel, a high-velocity, triple-A extraction shooter, is available in limited playtests for XP.GG gamers throughout the rest of 2024, while full access comes in early 2025.
“Shrapnel is one of the most impressive web3 games we’ve come across,” said Amos Whitewolf, Co-Founder of Perion and CTO at XP.GG. “It was an easy choice to add it to XP.GG so gamers could level-up their Universal Battle Pass by playing. We can’t wait for XP.GG gamers to get rewarded with real prizes as they get good in Shrapnel’s ever-expanding world.”
Physical Rewards and Incentives for Gamers
XP.GG is going to revolutionize the gaming reward system, offering real-world prizes for top gamers. The Season 0 prizes include a $6,000 setup for a gaming PC, a Fortnite-themed Secret Labs gaming chair, a PS5, a $1,000 CS2 knife, among other prizes, worth over $10,000. The value of the prizes increases with each season as more gamers join the platform.

Made to foster skills for one’s favorite games, the Universal Battle Pass lets them undertake different kinds of challenges. The significance of game assets in terms of the community is also evident in the fact that players actually own these assets.
Shrapnel’s narrative places gamers in a not-too-distant future where they must navigate a world changed by a mysterious substance, taking on the role of a MEF Operator with the mission to extract or face dire consequences.
