World's first blockchain game console announced

Polium, a Web 3.0 specialist, has unveiled the Polium One game console, designed exclusively for running crypto games based on various popular blockchains. Among other things, support for platforms such as Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, BNB, EOS, Wax, Harmony and ImmutableX has already been announced.

The creators of the device did not disclose the specific specifications of Polium One and limited themselves to the statement that the console will be capable of producing an image in 8K HDR with a frame rate of 120 fps and ray tracing. At the same time, in accompanying document statesthat Polium One is being created "based on its own operating system and a custom NVIDIA chip."

Also, the console will be equipped with a fingerprint scanner through which users will be able to access their cryptocurrency wallet. The release of the first batch of devices is scheduled for 2024, and mass production will start in 2025.

As for games, all kinds of blockchain projects built around NFTs and the Play-to-Earn concept will be available on Polium One. In the presentation materials, you can see games such as Axie Infinty, The Bored Ape Yacht Club Metaverse, CryptoKitties and many lesser-known projects.

Representatives of the gaming press and users greeted the announcement extremely negatively. Journalists Kotaku noted the similarity of the design and logo of Polium One with the retro Game Cube console, and the console controller was called "a cheap DualSense clone with a trackpad that fell off." They also accused the creators of the device of wanting to make money with the help of dubious schemes with NFT games. And some users even doubted the reality of the presented device.
