Google Cloud has partnered with Solana Labs to launch GameShift, a new service aimed at integrating Web3 gaming into traditional cloud-based platforms.

Announced at the Solana Breakpoint event, GameShift is designed to help game developers incorporate blockchain features such as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and tokenised assets into their games through Google Cloud Marketplace.

GameShift simplifies the process by providing tools that handle the technical work of blockchain integration.

Developers can now leverage Web3 components in their games while maintaining a similar user experience to traditional services.

Davis Hart, general manager of GameShift, emphasised, “Our goal is to offer a seamless development and player experience while utilising the unique capabilities of Web3.”

This partnership builds on Google Cloud's broader involvement in Web3, which includes previous projects like the Blockchain Node Engine, Web3 BigQuery datasets, and the Web3 for Startups program.

Google Cloud’s collaboration with Solana (CRYPTO:SOL) connects the platform to a blockchain known for its speed and reliability, especially in decentralised exchanges, NFTs, and stablecoins.

For Solana, this partnership opens up new opportunities to onboard millions of users, expanding its reach in the Web3 space.

The network's recent developments include the launch of new products at the Token2049 conference and continued interest from financial institutions like Franklin Templeton and Citibank.

Despite these advancements, SOL, the native token of the Solana blockchain, has seen modest price movement.

At the time of writing, the Solana (SOL) price was $152.14.
