Ultra and Versus-X Join Forces for Exclusive Beta Access and Further Tech Integration
Versus-X will be opening its closed beta exclusively on Ultra while integrating further with Ultra’s blockchain technology.
We’re excited to announce that Versus X will be launching their new closed beta on July 24th at 12 pm UTC on Ultra! Together with the Versus-X team, we’re bringing their new highly anticipated sports game ecosystem to the Ultra community. Alongside exclusive closed beta access, Versus-X has integrated with Ultra’s technology to enhance the gaming experience for both the Ultra and Versus-X communities.
Versus-X: A Web3 Sports Game Ecosystem
Versus-X is a Web3 gaming ecosystem featuring high-quality sports games, skill-based wagering, and customizable on-chain NFT avatars. Their innovative approach includes a unique wagering system and fully customizable NFT avatars, enhancing both competition and personalization within their sports game experience.
All Versus-X games offer a variety of player-versus-environment arcade game modes, with each mode providing unique challenges and opportunities for adventure. For those seeking a competitive edge, all game modes offer a player-versus-player option.
The closed beta for Versus-X will include pool and golf game modes.
Integrating with Ultra’s blockchain technology
Versus-X will be integrating with various facets of Ultra’s blockchain technology to help enhance the gaming experience for those engaging with the Versus-X ecosystem. Versus-X has integrated with Ultra’s NFT API, our SSO (single sign-on) solution, gated access, and redeem code features.
Key integrations include:
Integration of Ultra’s NFT API
Versus-X will be leveraging Ultra’s NFT API to provide gated access to their closed beta. Gated access to the closed beta will be provided to holders of the Access Pass, a Uniq that will be available for free mint on the Uniq Marketplace. Access Pass Uniqs will also be redeemed by pre-qualified players.
Ultra Wearables
There will be two Uniq drops involving Ultra-branded wearables within the Versus-X ecosystem:
The first will be the Versus-X Originals drop, including Ultra-branded wearable items. This drop will include hoodies, pants, sneakers, and helmets. These items can be minted for free on the Uniq Marketplace with a limited supply. These cosmetics will enhance a player’s identity within the Versus-X game and players can rep the Ultra brand in-game.
The second will introduce a Versus-X Variations drop, offering players a limited variant selection of Ultra-branded wearables. Each wearable variant will be ranked by rarity: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, and Legendary. Common variants will be the most affordable and widely available, whereas Legendary variants will be the most expensive and scarce.
VIP Ultra Room in Versus-X
Versus-X is creating a VIP room within their metaverse, accessible only to users holding the Ultra wearables. This initiative aims to create a unique space for Ultra community members, enriching their experience within the Versus-X ecosystem.
Within the VIP Ultra Room, Ultra wearable owners can expect AMAs, streaming events, possible launch events, and more.

“At Versus-X, we’re excited to partner up with Ultra, as it will allow us to introduce our first-of-its-kind skill-based wagering ecosystem to the fantastic Ultra.io community.
