Just a few weeks ago, Sbarter explained its idea of a pay-to-earn platform as an additional, blockchain-based source of monetization for game developers in an interview with GamesMarkt. Now, the launch of the platform of the same name, planned for early 2026, is taking shape. As Sbarter announced, it has found its first dev partner in the Polish studio Vivid Games.

Vivid Games is known for titles such as the Real Boxing series. Accordingly, Sbarter will be gradually rolled out in Real Boxing 3 from January 2026 in all regions where both products are available and legally compliant.

 "Gamers have always enlivened competitions with small, friendly bets – whether in billiards or in an online match," said Alessandro Fried, Chairman of Sbarter. "Sbarter brings this spirit to the world of video games: fair, transparent, and controlled by the players themselves. The fact that Vivid Games is our first partner shows how much this concept resonates with studios that want to offer their community truly meaningful moments."

Piotr Gamracy, CEO of Vivid Games, adds: "Our players love to prove themselves. Sbarter offers a simple and fair way to make every match more exciting – without changing the fundamental elements of the game. It's a natural extension of what Real Boxing has always stood for: skill, rivalry, and community."
