OptimGames Studios Inc.

What OptimGames Studios Inc. does

OptimGames Studios Inc. is a privately held Canadian video game development company founded in 2025 and headquartered in Toronto, Ontario. The studio develops competitive multiplayer games at the intersection of traditional first-person shooter gameplay and Web3 token economies, operating two titles: FPSCore, a competitive arena-based FPS currently in public playtest that rewards players with CoreToken (CORE) cryptocurrency for gameplay achievements (2 CORE per headshot, 1 CORE per elimination); and PAX, a second title under development with active playtester recruitment.

FPSCore is built on Unreal Engine by Epic Games and integrates CronosPlay, Crypto.com's blockchain infrastructure, to enable play-to-earn mechanics. Players fund wallets using CRO (Cronos) and swap to CORE at a 10:1 ratio; supported wallets include Crypto.com OnChain Wallet, MetaMask, and WalletConnect. Multiplayer infrastructure runs on Epic Online Services v1.18.1.2 with built-in anti-cheat, and the game supports advanced graphics features including RTX rendering, AMD FSR4, and NVIDIA DLSS4 anti-aliasing. AI-powered bots trained via reinforcement learning fill lobbies when human players are unavailable.

The studio is currently pre-revenue, distributing FPSCore free of charge during public playtest on Steam (App ID 4226250) and via direct download from optimgames.com. Its go-to-market is product-led: free playtest builds, community feedback loops routed to a founder inbox ([email protected]), iterative public changelogs, and word-of-mouth among playtesters. P2E token swap economics represent the only described future monetization mechanism, with potential one-time game sales as a secondary stream once FPSCore exits playtest and PAX launches. No external funding, parent company, or subsidiary structure is disclosed.

Revenue model

1. In-Game Token Purchases: Players purchase CORE tokens with CRO cryptocurrency to participate in play-to-earn gameplay. Tokens are used for competitive gameplay rewards and can be swapped back at a 10:1 ratio. This creates a transaction-based revenue stream from cryptocurrency exchange fees and token economics.
2. Game Sales and Downloads: Future potential revenue from game sales. Currently in public playtest phase with free access. FPSCore is listed on Steam which would facilitate future paid downloads or in-game purchases.
