TOKYO, April 11
Ubitus K.K., a leading cloud streaming solutions provider, recently supported Yuga Labs, the creators of the Bored Ape Yacht Club, Otherside, and owners of CryptoPunks and Meebits, in hosting an exclusive metaverse event called Apes Come Home on February 29th, 2024.
The event, which attracted participants from North America, Europe, and Asia, leveraged Ubitus' cloud gaming technology to host a scavenger hunt within the Otherside universe. Immersive Metaverse Experience For many participants, Apes Come Home marked the first time they could see and inhabit their 3D avatar while exploring a variety of interactive experiences. Bored Ape Island offered stunning landscapes and social interactions, including taking selfies and having virtual beer. Unlike previous events, Apes Come Home was largely unguided, allowing participants to decide how they interacted with each other and experienced Otherside's expanded environment. Eliminating Barriers with Cloud Technology By leveraging Ubitus GameCloud technology to host the game in the cloud, this global event allowed gamers to interact in an intricate and sophisticated world without the need for high-performance hardware. Ubitus' technology also eliminated distance barriers, enabling thousands of concurrent players worldwide to participate in the event in real-time. With just one click, players could begin their metaverse adventure and experience the game directly through a web browser. Wesley Kuo, CEO of Ubitus, commented on the collaboration, stating, "Supporting Yuga Labs for Apes Come Home allows us to showcase our cloud service's global reach including Asia, Europe, and America. This collaboration underscored our commitment to making immersive and interactive digital experiences more accessible, bringing together communities worldwide through real-time events."
