LiveOps Engineer

Who we are

HyperPlay is the game store from the future where players discover great games, and developers find a censorship-resistant and developer-loyal distribution platform.

HyperPlay solves the largest user experience and infrastructure problems facing both the players and developers of web3-enabled games.

HyperPlay is built around MetaMask: the most interoperable, permissionless, and extensible wallet. HyperPlay extends these value propositions to the world of gaming through a rich in-game overlay with web3 features. Our in-game overlay features seamless wallet transactions, quests, achievements, token swaps, marketplaces, and social community.

HyperPlay’s developer solutions are the easiest to adopt in the industry, from simple and optional wallet APIs to rich quest builders and smart contract factories. Game developers can interact with our APIs directly from Unity, Unreal, proprietary games engines, or window.ethereum for browser based games. Developers who prefer a no-code solution can leverage simple SDKs for both the Unreal and Unity game engines.

Unlike legacy game stores, HyperPlay aggregates other game stores like Epic Games, GOG, and Amazon Prime Gaming bringing the largest library and game discovery to players.

Free from OS siloes, HyperPlay is available on Windows, Mac, and Linux and enables Windows games to be played on Mac and Linux. Browser-based games and dapps are supported too, and receive graphics card acceleration and our overlay when played through the HyperPlay app.
