Sam Altman\u2019s blockchain project, World Network, is teaming up with gaming hardware firm Razer on a suite of features designed to weed out bots from video games.<\/p>\n

\u201cRazer ID verified by World ID\u201d is a single sign-on mechanism that will verify real human gamers from bots. It’s built atop Razer ID, Razer’s existing login service, and will help guarantee there’s “a real person behind every Razer ID account,\u201d according to a statement shared by Razer and World.<\/p>\n

The collaboration between the two firms comes as artificial intelligence (AI) tools are seeping into every corner of online life \u2014 including inside of video games, which have been plagued by non-human AI “bots” since long before the rise of Altman’s ChatGPT.<\/p>\n

According to a study from Echelon Insights that World shared with CoinDesk, roughly 59% of gamers said that they regularly encountered unauthorized, third-party bots in their games. In addition to posing a general nuisance to players, bot accounts often have tactical advantages over real players, which can ruin the competitiveness of some multiplayer games.<\/p>\n

\u201cGame developers now have a tool to build dynamic spaces where real players \u2014not bots\u2014 dominate the digital landscape,\u201d World said in its statement.<\/p>\n

Razer’s integration with World Network builds upon World’s existing blockchain-based identity solution, which uses iris scans to differentiate real humans from robots online.<\/p>\n

The new feature will be integrated first into \u201cTOKYO BEAST,\u201d a blockchain-based game set in a version of Tokyo based 100 years in the future. It’s an apt pairing: the game’s main premise involves humans coexisting with autonomous androids.<\/p>\n

When users log into TOKYO BEAST, they will be prompted to sign in using a World-authenticated Razer ID, ensuring they can play online with real human players only.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAs AI continues to reshape the gaming world, we want to empower gamers and game developers with the tools they need to navigate this transformation safely and confidently,\u201d said Wei-Pin Choo, the chief corporate officer at Razer. \u201cBy teaming up with World, we\u2019re ensuring that real players are the heart of every experience, keeping gaming fair, immersive, and designed for humans.\u201d<\/p>\n
