On June 6, the Web3 entertainment company Gala Games announced that the Wild West-focused battle royale blockchain game Grit will soon be available via the Epic Games Store and accessible to 194 million users.

Blockchain-Powered Grit Gets Added to the Epic Games Store — Gala Games Exec Says Epic Listing Brings Legitimacy to This New Genre of Gaming
The Epic Games Store currently hosts a blockchain video game called Grit, a Wild West-based battle royale game built using the Unreal Engine. Grit players face a gang of gunslingers “in epic showdowns and shootouts” and the game features over 400 types of old-school guns. The game crafted by the Web3 entertainment firm Gala Games is listed on the Epic Games Store but the description notes that Grit is “coming soon.”
Gala Games is also behind the Web3 first-person-shooter (FPS) Last Expedition, and the Gala Music platform. The Web3 business also has plans to launch a non-fungible token (NFT) esports game called Spider Tanks. Epic adding a blockchain-based game to its popular gaming store is a milestone according to John Osvald, the president of games at Gala Games. “Epic is a pioneer and visionary in the video game industry. Gala Games’ titles being available on the Epic Game Store brings legitimacy to this new genre of gaming,” Osvald said in a statement published on Monday.
Osvald added:
Easy access to Web3 games is a turning point for those players who have not yet seen how digital ownership can enrich the gaming experience.
