Mythical Games is a game technology company that develops video games integrated with blockchain technology to facilitate player-owned economies. The company creates its own titles and provides a platform for other developers to incorporate digital asset ownership and secondary markets into their games. ^[1]

Overview

Mythical Games operates with a "games-first" philosophy, which prioritizes creating enjoyable core gameplay experiences that are enhanced, rather than defined, by blockchain elements. The company's central thesis is that enabling players to have true ownership of their in-game items leads to higher engagement and asset valuation. According to the company, "Players who have the freedom to trade their game items as they wish are more engaged, have more fun, and value their assets more." This model is designed to transform players into stakeholders within the game's economy. ^[1]

To facilitate this vision for the broader gaming industry, the company developed the Mythical Platform, a suite of tools that allows other game developers to integrate a player-owned economy without needing to build the underlying blockchain infrastructure from scratch. The platform is part of the larger Mythos ecosystem, which includes a dedicated blockchain and a native utility token. The company is headquartered in Los Angeles, California, and maintains a global presence with five offices and over 200 employees. As of late 2025, the company reported having more than six million engaged players across its ecosystem. ^{[1] [3]}

History

The company's public presence began around April 2018, the month its official X (formerly Twitter) account was created. ^[2] The company has since focused on developing and publishing games that utilize its proprietary technology.

A significant period of activity occurred in 2025. On August 29, 2025, Mythical Games launched the mobile game Pudgy Party worldwide on iOS and Android. ^[2] In early September 2025, the game received several hotfixes, indicating it was in an active post-launch support phase. By September 30, 2025, the company announced a milestone of "One Month, One Million," suggesting a significant user acquisition achievement for one of its products. ^[1]

In October 2025, the company announced several key metrics and partnerships. On October 6, a partnership with FIFA was detailed for a "FIFA World Cup 26 Legacy" digital collectible to be featured in the upcoming FIFA Rivals game. ^[1] The following day, on October 7, Mythical Games reported that Pudgy Party had surpassed 500,000 downloads and had become the top-ranked racing game in the U.S. App Store. On October 8, 2025, the company announced that FIFA Rivals had exceeded one million downloads. ^[2]

Technology

Mythical Games' technology is centered around its platform and the underlying blockchain ecosystem designed to support player-owned economies.

Mythical Platform

The Mythical Platform is a comprehensive technology solution for game developers and publishers seeking to integrate a secondary, player-owned economy into their games. The platform is designed to manage the complexities of blockchain integration, allowing developers to focus on game creation. The company states, "The Mythical Platform takes the complexity out of adding a secondary economy to any game, we manage all the complexity, so developers can focus on making great games." ^[1]

Key features of the platform include:

• Integration: The primary integration method is through REST APIs, with Software Development Kits (SDKs) also available. This is intended to simplify the process for developers to connect their games to the Mythical ecosystem.
• Marketplace: The platform provides an "advanced Marketplace" out-of-the-box, which can also be built directly into a game's client, allowing for seamless in-game trading of digital assets.
• Developer Support: The company provides extensive documentation and onboarding guides to assist developers with the integration process.

These tools are designed to increase player agency and create new revenue streams for both players and developers. ^[1]

Mythos Ecosystem

The Mythical Platform operates within the broader Mythos ecosystem, which is powered by its own blockchain and native token.

• Mythos Chain: This is the underlying blockchain that supports the digital economies of games within the Mythical ecosystem. It is designed to handle the high transaction volume required for gaming applications.
• Mythos (MYTH) Token: The MYTH token is the native utility token of the ecosystem. It is used for transactions on the Mythical Marketplace and across other games and applications within the Mythos ecosystem. The token is promoted as having features such as high scalability, low transaction fees, and interoperability. The Mythos Foundation is the governing body associated with the token. As of October 2025, the MYTH token was listed on several cryptocurrency exchanges, including Gate.io, MEXC, Uniswap, Coinex, and HTX.

The ecosystem is structured to provide a secure and efficient environment for the creation, sale, and trading of in-game digital assets. ^[1]
