You are not lounging in the living room playing games, but teaming up with a group of global players in the virtual streets, earning some pocket money while chatting about life. This is not a scene from a sci-fi movie, but a @Yield Guild Games true portrayal of the recent collaboration between PlaysOut and. As an old hand in the crypto circle, YGG, and the emerging mini-game infrastructure player, PlaysOut, their partnership is like a street basketball game.

Why is this like a street party? Because it doesn't pretend to be something it's not.#YGGPlay It's not that high-and-mighty 'noble guild'; it started in the Philippines with a group of young people who love playing Axie Infinity, pooling money to buy NFTs to rent to newcomers, sharing the profits. This 'scholar system' model has allowed countless Southeast Asian players to earn their first pot of gold from gaming, even supporting their families. As for PlaysOut? It resembles a street performer, focusing on mini-game infrastructure, backed by KBW Ventures and OKX Ventures, aiming to make mini-games accessible everywhere. From Telegram bots to Discord channels, you can play with just a tap. Their $PLAY token is not just for show; it serves as a 'ticket' to buy skins and unlock levels.

Cooperation starts at the end of September 2025, with the first week being a $10,000 weekly prize pool. Players log into YGG's community platform, bind their wallets, and complete daily tasks: play PlaysOut's mini-games, earn points, and climb the leaderboard. It's not the kind of tedious grinding, but rather a weekly theme change. Last week was the penguin battle in LOL Land, and this week is the Thanksgiving-themed 'Turkey Escape.' I tried playing a round; the interface is as simple as a small app on the phone, 5 minutes per game, and even if I lose, I can still have a laugh. YGG's community manager is live shouting on Discord: 'Don't be timid, go for it! The top 50 in points get extra airdrops!' That kind of atmosphere feels like a crypto version of an offline party for 'Honor of Kings.'$YGG Airdrop!

But this cooperation is not just entertainment; it addresses the pain points of Web3 gaming. Think about it, how many ups and downs has the crypto gaming circle gone through in recent years? Axie Infinity was once popular, but then the economy collapsed, and players left; games like Pixels in the metaverse are too heavy, taking forever to download and lagging. YGG has reflected on this itself, transitioning from a pure guild model to the YGG Play platform, aiming to become a 'game publisher' to help developers distribute and attract players. The mini-game engine of PlaysOut perfectly fills this gap: lightweight, low threshold, allowing cross-chain play without requiring high-end cards or large memory. Their joint quests mechanism uses smart contracts to lock rewards, ensuring fairness. The more aggressively you play, the more points you earn. This is not just about earning $PLAY or YGG points; it's also a 'beginner's course' for practicing Web3. I've seen a player from the Philippines share on X, going from zero knowledge to earning $200 a month, all relying on the experience gained from this cooperation.

Digging deeper into the connections within the crypto ecosystem, this partnership feels like it's injecting energy into the entire GameFi. YGG's$YGG token, which originally managed governance and staking, now adds PlaysOut's $PLAY, equating to an extra layer of 'social fuel.' Players can exchange YGG points for exclusive skins from PlaysOut, or conversely, use $PLAY to participate in YGG's Superquests. That kind of cross-game team challenge. Think about other projects: like Illuvium, such AAA titles are frighteningly high in entry barriers; games on the Ronin chain are too closed off. The YGG x PlaysOut model is more down-to-earth; it leverages the viral spread of mini-games to help YGG attract new blood. Data shows that since the cooperation started in September, YGG's active users have increased by 25%, and PlaysOut's daily active users have also doubled. This is not a coincidence, but because they understand players: who doesn't want to watch a show while playing a couple of mini-games, casually earning some crypto?

The crypto market loves to go from riches to rags overnight.$YGG Prices have been hovering around $0.08 recently, and $PLAY is even younger and more volatile. No matter how lively the cooperation is, if the game economy design doesn't keep up, players will still leave. There are also regulatory shadows—the P2E craze in Southeast Asia, with governments starting to pay attention to taxes and money laundering. But YGG founder Gabby Dizon was prepared; their SubDAO structure allows each regional game to operate independently, dispersing risk. PlaysOut is also smart, focusing on infrastructure without engaging in high-risk NFT speculation.
