Sci-fi survival game Eve Frontier is transitioning from the Ethereum-based Redstone gaming network to the layer-1 blockchain Sui. Game developer CCP Games told Decrypt the move wasn’t motivated by a financial grant, but because the network is aligned around a “deep philosophical direction for the game” and the “future of virtual worlds.”
Over the coming months, a CCP Games spokesperson said, Eve Frontier will be ported over to Sui. Since the game is currently running on testnet, players will not need to migrate any assets. CCP Games told Decrypt that the move doesn’t change the game’s roadmap; rather, it enables the studio’s future vision.
“This partnership unlocks the long-term roadmap for Eve Frontier to become a ‘forever game,’” the CCP Games spokesperson told Decrypt. “The move to Sui opens up a range of features, including: Better user onboarding and experience, aligned architecture and scalability, [as well as] security-enforced moddability and composability.”

Spun off from the infamously hardcore and long-running game Eve Online, the blockchain-powered Eve Frontier is a massively multiplayer online space survival game set in a universe that “literally wants to kill you,” CCP Games founder and CEO Hilmar Veigar Pétursson previously told Decrypt.
“Since inception, our mission has been to create virtual worlds more meaningful than real life. With Eve Frontier, we are pushing that ambition further than ever before: building a player-moddable universe, bound by its own digital physics, that can outlive us all,” Pétursson said in a release. “For us, Sui offered the unique alignment of architecture, security, and user experience. Together, we’re building a world that can truly stand the test of time.”
Both CCP Games and Mysten Labs told Decrypt that they are working together to “investigate” a port for Eve Frontier that’ll bring the game to the SuiPlay0X1 handheld console.
The SuiPlay0X1 is a high-end mobile PC gaming device that’s positioned as a rival to Valve’s Steam Deck. It can play traditional games like Elden Ring, but is uniquely positioned to natively support crypto games via the PlaytronOS.
“The initial focus for the partnership will be using Sui and its primitives, such as zkLogin, programmable transaction blocks (PTBs), and sponsored transactions,” a spokesperson for Mysten Labs told Decrypt. “In the future, the partnership will leverage the entire Sui stack, with further information on how these services will be integrated forthcoming.”
