This is an interesting announcement, given Apple’s particular policy towards non-fungible tokens (NFTs), including 30% commissions on sales of thesealthough these could now be bypassed.
For their part, the Axie Infinity teams believe that Origins is the first game authorized by Apple on the App Store, involving NFTs external to iOS. On the other hand, some features will be inaccessible as such, involving downloading versions of the game other than the one offered natively on iOS:
“iOS players will be able to use their NFT axies in this release in meaningful ways. We believe this is the first time Apple has agreed to make an externally purchased NFT usable on the App Store. Additionally, only Moonshard crafting recipes will be available in the app. So, to use SLP crafting recipes, players will need to use desktop/Android APK versions. »
