Get Good and Get Rewarded in Fortnite, CS2 and Overwatch
Perion Labs introduces the all-new XP.GG, a gaming platform that lets gamers get rewarded by getting good at their favourite games. XP.GG features a Universal Battle Pass integrated across all XP.GG games. XP.GG will launch August 1 with Fortnite. Counter-Strike 2 and Overwatch competitions will begin late August, with more games being added each month.
“XP.GG let’s gamers Get Good and Get Rewarded by playing the games they already love,” said Amos Whitewolf, co-founder of Perion and CTO of XP.GG. “The more levels gamers unlock, the more rewards they get, and the higher the chance they have of winning thousands of dollars of weekly prizes. We can’t wait to introduce gamers to our Universal Battle Pass across all XP.GG games, giving them a shot at real prizes for getting good.”
The new XP.GG and Season 0 of the Battle Pass launches August 1 with Fortnite. Counter-Strike 2 and Overwatch competitions will begin late August. More premier gaming titles are on the way including League of Legends, Valorant, Dota 2, Apex Legends, Mobile legends, Pub G and AAA web3 games like Shrapnel. Perion has partnered with game developers and esports teams like Talon esports and GIANTX to ensure strong game curation.
A Universal Battle Pass That Rewards Gamers
Gamers can take on challenges in their favourite games designed to sharpen their skills and, in return, level up their Universal Battle Pass. Season 0’s prizes include a $6,000 gaming PC setup, a Fortnite-themed Secret Labs gaming chair, a PS5, $1,000 CS2 knife, and more, totaling over $10,000 in value. Prizes will increase in value each Season as more gamers Get Good and Get Rewarded.
“Every victory on XP.GG brings more than just glory; it brings tangible rewards across all the games you already play,” added Amos. “So earning rewards becomes a game itself on top of the challenge of getting good in the games you love.”
XP.GG: Gamer Tested, Gamer Approved
Perion Lab’s team of gamers launched an XP.GG prototype in early 2024 to learn what gamers really wanted out of a gaming platform. Prizes started as small as a few hundred VBucks, then increased to gaming consoles. The overwhelming result after thousands of hours of gameplay: gamers want rewards for getting good in the games they already love to play.
“So that’s exactly what we built,” said Mitch Penman-Allen, co-founder of Perion Labs and Chief Strategy Officer of XP.GG. “Informed by months of testing, we’ve created the first comprehensive reward layer that lets every gamer access real rewards for getting good at the games they already play.”
Season 0 Starts Now
Gamers can visit XP.GG starting August 1 to sign up and begin earning rewards with Season 0 of the XP Battle Pass in Fortnite. Later in August Counter-Strike 2 and Overwatch competitions will begin.
Season 0 includes a special multiplier, where players that reach Level 5 in their Battle Pass will be eligible to receive an attachment for their Battle Pass for following Seasons. Reaching Level 5 in Season 0 grants a 5% multiplier attachment in Season 1, Level 10 grants a 10% multiplier attachment, and so on. Each season attachment will reset and carry over the bonus earned from the previous Season for anyone that signs up and hits level 5 in Season 0.
“A Universal Battle Pass and more opportunities to Get Good and Get Rewarded starts NOW,” added Jan Hartmann, co-founder of Perion and CEO of XP.GG. “And stay tuned for more games and even bigger prizes at XP.GG in the coming months!”
