AJ Dinger, head of business development at the Telos Foundation, issued a press release regarding this collaboration. In this statement, he noted that the said collaboration will help new users to join the Web3 gaming ecosystem using the powerful network of Web3 coin project Telos. In this context, Dinger also underlined the following:
We believe this collaboration will be a meaningful impetus to attract new users to the Web3 space. We will combine GameStop Playr with Web3 games using Telos’ high-performance Blockchain infrastructure. Thus, we will remove many of the barriers currently holding Web2 players from adopting Web3.
Meanwhile, Telos’ native token TLOS rose 10% on the news before falling back. However, as the news wore off, Web3 coin price started to decline. At press time, the altcoin is down about 6% on a daily basis. TLOS, which peaked at $ 0.2614 during the day, dived to the bottom with $ 0.2249 at the time of writing.

GameStop is steadily moving away from the brick-and-mortar strategy. Accordingly, it is focusing on a digital expansion that also includes Web3 games. As you follow on Kriptokoin.com, it announced in February 2022 that it has formed a partnership with layer 1 Blockchain Immutable X to create a Non Fungible Token (NFT) market for trading in-game assets. Operating as a public beta since July, it officially opened its marketplace to the public in October 2022. The retailer also launched its self-escrow crypto and NFT wallet in May 2022.
