Welcome to our first Immutable Developer Blog for 2025! We hope you've had a great holiday season and are ready to dive into a year of exciting updates and announcements. With the new year comes huge new features, improvements and updates to the Immutable platform.
Keep an eye on this space because 2025 is just getting started!
New Features
Since we signed off last year, we've been rather occupied getting some new features out the door and straight into your hands. These include in-game integration for bridging, swapping and on-ramping, exciting new rewards for your players and much to the delight of our developers, loads of new code samples across our documentation site.
In-game support for bridging, swapping and on-ramping
Impacted Users: Game DevelopersPlayersConnect your Unity or Unreal game straight to Immutable's Commerce widget with our new Martketplace package. This feature simplifies wallet funding by generating URLs for on-ramp, swap, and bridge flows, seamlessly directing players to the relevant widgets for purchasing tokens with fiat currency, swapping tokens, or bridging tokens between chains.
Make sure to have a read of the implementation instructions for either Unity or Unreal based games.
Further rewards for your users on Immutable Play
Impacted Users: PlayersGame StudiosGems for you, gems for us, gems for everyone! The team has been working flat out to bring players exciting new rewards on Immutable Play.
Once again, while these features are largely player focused, developers and game studios should be aware of the tools available to their players and how they can be used to drive engagement and retention. It's a win-win for everyone!
Here's a few of the new features we've introduced:
- Challenges to win cool prizes: Players can follow a game for a chance to win 0.25 ETH or a Steam Deck.
- First-time login reward: Players can claim a one-off reward of 30 gems when they log in for the first time.
- King Arthur: Legends Rise: Players will earn 50 gems for completing King Arthur's onboarding quest.
- Mystery daily gems: Players will now receive a random number of gems between 3 and 20 daily!

New and improved code samples
Impacted Users: Game DevelopersAt Immutable we're always working hard to improve our developer docs to help you get the most out of our platform. An important part of this is ensuring that we've provided developers with as many technical code examples as we possibly can. Recently, we've whipped up some examples for handling insufficient funds in-game which you can check out here.
New code samples are being added every week, so be sure to keep an eye out!
Upcoming Features
We're continually cooking up new features and there's certainly lots in the works for 2025 Here's a sneak peak of what's coming:
- Improved Typescript SDK Reference to help developers integrate Immutable zkEVM into their web based applications and games.
- More tools and features for Immutable Play to help game studios drive engagement and retention.
