The first Battle Royale game of its kind in which you can earn a fraction of a bitcoin called the Satoshis, SATS or simply S, has taken the gaming scene with much enthusiasm. The game is still under early access and requires you to buy it with $20 to try it out. Light Nite is expected to release sometime in 2022. In this article, you will get more information about the game and its different features, so let’s begin.
What is the Genre of Light Nite?
Light Nite is a battle royale at its core having similar modes to other battle royale games where you can play both solo and team battle royale.
What does Light Nite do differently?
The main difference that Light Nite has with other games is its inclusion of the Play2Win model, in which under certain modes, you can win bitcoins by winning the match. You can either use earned Satoshis to buy NFTs in their Elixir Marketplace, or you can cash them out. Satoshis is a fraction of an actual Bitcoin, where 1 Bitcoin = 100,000,000 Satoshis. This is the first time a battle royale game uses this concept. The game promises a full-fledged market and other enhancements when it launches as it is still under early access mode.
This concept of providing a decentralized game giving access to players to earn and trade SATS is still new. It builds on the fact that players with skill can earn from their great plays and actually make a living out of it. This concept will allow more players to be attracted to the game, not just because of the Battle Royale genre but the possibility of earning bitcoins.
What is the Costing model in Light Nite?
For now, the game costs $20 to play, but the developers are considering making it free to play sometime in 2022 when it launches with a seasonal pass model. The game allows you to earn bitcoins by shooting, as is said in their promotional material. The best part about this model that Light Nite employs is that all the merchandise has a real value attached to bitcoins or SATS. These SATs use the lighting network to make the coins decentralized. You can use different bitcoin wallets to access the money in the game, like BlueWallet, an app for Bitcoin Wallet.
