Playtron will launch a new Stablecoin that aims to play on the SUI blockchain, which is their efforts to develop a unified payment system for the upcoming HandHeld gaming device – Suiplay0x1.
The Stablecoin, called Game Dollar, announced at a Sui Basecamp event in Dubai, plans to go live in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Game Dollar is being issued in partnership with Stablecoin infrastructure provider M0 and will be backed by short-term U.S. fiscal assets. However, unlike the general steady state commonly used in trading or decentralized financing, Game Dollar is designed for use in gaming environments.

Playtron says Game Dollar is designed to be used as a standardized currency built into GameOS, a Linux-based operating system that powers its devices and is accessible via the built-in wallet interface on Suiplay0x1.
This currency will be available on the SUIPLAY0X1 handheld table and on other hardware using the same operating system. By embedding Stablecoin directly into system software, Playtron aims to simplify in-game transactions and reduce reliance on third-party payment providers.
Stablecoin will also support programmable features, although the company has not yet detailed how to implement them. It shows that the output of the underlying reserve assets can be used to support certain platform-level features such as user incentives or service funding.

Game Dollar marks a new financial tool in the growing ecosystem of SUI blockchain, an increasingly focused on gaming and consumer applications.
SUIPLAY0X1 announced earlier this year that it will support traditional PC gaming via Steam and applications built for GameOS.
While the device is scheduled to launch in 2025, no titles or developers can support Game Dollar at launch.
