Third-person battle royale game OverTrip has officially launched on the Epic Games Store, launching a feature that allows players to make real-money bets on their performance in the game.
This new “skill mode” leverages cryptocurrencies, including the recently launched $TRIP token, to add a gambling element to the gaming experience.
While the move marks an important step toward integrating blockchain technology into gaming, it also raises concerns about market volatility and its potential impact on player satisfaction.

OverTrip is a free-to-play battle royale game that blends traditional gameplay with blockchain-powered elements. The game integrates Ethereum for NFT minting and plans to expand its ecosystem to Soneium, the Sony-backed Ethereum layer 2 network.
In the game, players will participate in matches with up to 50 people, with the goal of outlasting their opponents and winning. In addition to the standard battle royale mode, the game also offers other options such as deathmatch and private lobbies with customizable settings to suit different play styles.
The OverTrip economy is powered by the $TRIP token, which is built on the Solana blockchain. The token can be used to purchase in-game skins and participate in a skill-based betting system.

Skill mode allows players to bet $0.10 to $0.99 on their chances of finishing in the top three in a tournament. Successful bets generate cryptocurrency rewards, while unsuccessful bets result in losses. This mode also supports SuperVerse tokens ($SUPER) as an alternative betting option.
As part of its launch, $TRIP tokens were distributed via airdrops to selected players during an early promotion. According to Dexscreener, although the token initially fell in value, its market cap has stabilized at $5 million at the time of writing.
Due to its real-money betting features, OverTrip has received an “Adults Only” (AO) rating from the ESRB, limiting its access to mature audiences.
