YGG Play has kicked off its 2026 publishing roadmap by welcoming Roach Racing Club to its launchpad, adding a competitive, market-driven title to its growing catalog of onchain games. The collaboration brings YGG Play quests directly into Roach Racing Club’s gameplay, incentivizing participation while strengthening player retention and onchain activity.
A Different Take on Market Prediction
Roach Racing Club reimagines crypto market prediction as a competitive race rather than a passive betting mechanic. Built on Abstract, the game places players head-to-head, where accurate calls on live market movements push their roach racers forward. The result is a fast, skill-focused experience aimed at degens, streamers, and highly competitive Web3 players.
“We see this partnership with YGG Play as a natural extension of our existing collaboration,” said 0xRoachCoach, CEO of Roach Racing Club. “It is a strong foundation for long-term growth.”
Proven Performance on Abstract
Since launch, Roach Racing Club has delivered strong traction within the Abstract ecosystem. The title has surpassed 9.2 million races, attracted more than 450,000 players, and distributed over US$1.5 million in cumulative winnings. Its emphasis on active decision-making and frequent feature updates has helped sustain engagement and onchain volume.
What YGG Play Brings to the Table
Through YGG Play, the partnership introduces smart contract-enforced revenue sharing, marketing support, player acquisition, and creator activation. A group of established creators from the Abstract ecosystem will promote Roach Racing Club quests, expanding visibility across multiple Web3 gaming communities.
Cross-Game Collaboration Inside the YGG Ecosystem
The partnership also extends into YGG Play’s broader portfolio. LOL Land, YGG Play’s flagship title, will roll out a Roach Racing-themed board alongside additional in-game events. Previous collaborations between the teams included custom maps and prize pools exceeding US$10,000, reinforcing the synergy between their player bases.
“We’re excited to partner with Roach Racing Club after several strong collaborations last year,” said Gabby Dizon, co-founder of Yield Guild Games. “It’s a competitive, crypto-native game built around real market action. That’s exactly the kind of experience that Casual Degens want, which makes it a natural fit for YGG Play.”
Looking Ahead
This collaboration represents YGG Play’s first partnership announcement of 2026. With more titles and developers expected to join in the coming months, the publisher continues to double down on skill-based, crypto-native games that blend competition, onchain economics, and community-driven play.
