Ultra

Ultra is an ambitious new PC digital distribution service for selling games, entertainment, addons, DLCs, in-game items that is enhanced by the decentralized backend and blockchain technology that can provide both developers and gamers with brand new experiences and new ways of owning digital content.

The service allows free account holders to discover, buy, play games, and engage in various social events such as live-streaming feeds, participating in contests, multiplayer events, large-scale tournaments, interacting with their favorite influencers, and more.

The core differentiation between Ultra.io desktop app and similar PC digital distribution platforms such as Steam, Epic Games Store, or GOG is the focus on empowering gamers to truly own their digital assets with the help of blockchain-powered authentication. This means that games and in-game items that players have purchased or won during gameplay are theirs to do what they want, including even the option of trading, selling, or giving them to their friends or other users not only inside the Ultra marketplace but also on 3rd party marketplaces!

This new sharing ecosystem provides benefits not only to players, but also developers who are now able to create brand new types of games whose in-game items can be permanently tied to game users and traded/sold at their discretion. Ultra’s blockchain technology can be accessed through an optimized and well-documented developer toolkit that allows the enhancement of old and new games with many new features, game mechanics, and innovations.

It is important to note that Ultra also provides numerous backend benefits to developers such as streamlined game discoverability tools, streamlined development costs via matured SKD tools, the opening of new monetization opportunities via secondary markets, and a highly competitive 12-15% distribution fee.

It can be accessed on any modern Windows PC via a standalone client app that features many tools and services popularized by similar PC digital distribution services. This includes user account management, social features, built-in marketplace, search and filtering options, download manager, and much more. The market also allows purchasing of games via cryptocurrency coins and has a built-in wallet manager.

Ultra PC client is available for download and is optimized only for Windows 10 and Windows 11.
