12 July 2023 - The Sandbox, a leading decentralized gaming virtual world and a subsidiary of Animoca Brands, today announced a set of new features allowing users to launch their own gamified experiences on the platform.

“Today marks a major step towards opening the metaverse and empowering both builders and LAND owners, allowing them to launch their experiences to players around the world, engage their community, and potentially monetize their experiences through NFT access restriction features,” said Sebastien Borget, COO and Co-Founder of The Sandbox. “This is a significant milestone, as user-generated content will now co-exist and grow alongside brand partners, contributing to a greater diversity of experiences that will lead new players into the metaverse with true digital ownership.”
