Immutable X integration was rumored to be a component of GameStop's NFT marketplace when it was first revealed earlier this year, and it turned out to be accurate. Months after the market opened, GameStop has now integrated Immutable even more deeply within its ecosystem.
Version 0.6.9 of the GameStop Wallet features native connections with the Immutable X Layer 2, according to a tweet from August 8, 2022. This implies that users of the wallet can transfer and receive immutable assets as well as access immutable Dapps.
"The Wallet now natively supports Immutable X Layer 2! Send/receive messages, connect to @Immutable-enabled dapps, and access your Immutable X assets. We'll keep bringing Layer 2 your way, the tweet promised.
Immutable X is fundamentally a scaling approach for the Ethereum network. Transactions can go through the network more quickly and with substantially cheaper fees thanks to Immutable X. Given how expensive gas fees can be at times, this is a big advantage for Ethereum users.
Additionally, players can now access both the market and Immutable X's gaming options in one location thanks to this new integration with GameStop's wallet. A GameStop customer may, for instance, play a play-to-earn game from Immutable X and then use the profits to make purchases in the NFT market.
For the Gamestop NFT ecosystem, which has faced with both positive (a record-breaking first-day trading volume) and bad (a number of noteworthy developments), this is only one of many (having to remove controversial NFTs from its marketplace).
