Samsung is getting ready for an unforgettable entrance into Web 3.0, as Space Tycoon launched on the Roblox metaverse. Mainly geared toward Gen Z players, Space Tycoon is a futuristic version of classic tycoon games. Players will have the chance to learn about product manufacturing and other business ventures in space.
Players in the game will be aliens that are attempting to find clues and solve mysteries in order to invent new items. Players will have ample opportunity to get creative and turn the items they find into something unorthodox. For instance, a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip can become a helicopter, while a smart TV might turn into a hoverboard if the right buttons are pushed. According to Samsung, the possible combinations are limited only by imagination.
The virtual sandbox based on Roblox will be divided into three areas:
Roblox has consistently been one of the top metaverse games among Gen Zers, thus explaining Samsung’s preference for the platform. The metaverse has already proven successful for Spotify (NYSE:SPOT), which got involved with the popular game just a couple of months ago. The number one music streaming platform released ‘Spotify Island’ on Roblox, an initiative intended to unite independent artists with their fans. Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX) also got in on the action, introducing their own take on the concept with the ‘3rd place’.
Jinsoo Kim, the executive vice president at Corporate Design Center of Samsung Electronics (OTC:SSNLF), explained Samsung’s choice to target the Gen Z audience: “We wanted to give our Gen Z customers a chance to experience Samsung products in a way they have never done before. We will continue to showcase content that can deliver more meaningful and entertaining digital experiences for both our current and future customers.”
In late June, Samsung Electronics, the flagship tech giant, surprised the crypto world by announcing the development of 3nm chips. The innovative hardware would allow users to mine Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies on their mobile devices without any dedicated hardware. Ultimately, this could accelerate crypto adoption in retail. Adding to the tech giant’s Web 3.0 push, Samsung smart TVs now support NFTs.
