The9 Limited, a Hong Kong subsidiary of The9, has announced a strategic partnership with Yield Guild Games (YGG) to launch the9bit gaming platform. The collaboration aims to help millions of gamers earn real rewards while playing, topping up, and creating content on the platform. YGG will integrate the9bit into its onboarding channels and regional guild activities, offering exclusive perks to its members. The partnership is designed to drive sustainable growth for both parties by combining YGG's trusted onboarding model with the9bit's Web2-friendly user experience [1][2].

The9 Limited is an Internet company listed on Nasdaq and is engaged in online games operation and Bitcoin mining business. The9bit is a next-generation gaming platform where players can play AAA IP games, top up mobile titles, complete daily missions, watch ads, post content, and lead communities while earning flexible, token-convertible points. It combines a simple Web2 UX with a powerful Web3 engine under the hood: auto-generated wallets, local fiat support, optional KYC, and built-in creator tools make it easy for anyone to join [2].

Yield Guild Games (YGG) is a global collective of gamers, creators, and builders turning play into opportunity. Known for pioneering the Web3 guild model with the rise of the play-to-earn movement in 2020, YGG laid the foundation for a new kind of digital coordination. Across all its initiatives, YGG is developing systems where skill is verifiable, contribution is visible, effort is valued, and rewards are shared [2].

The partnership will officially kick off as the9bit prepares to launch its full platform globally on August 1, 2025. YGG members will receive exclusive perks, including early access to new features, higher mission bonuses, creator tool boosts, and special community grants to support guild leaders who move their Spaces to the platform [2].

Gabby Dizon, Co-Founder of Yield Guild Games, stated, "We're excited to welcome the9bit into the YGG ecosystem. They have a clear vision and they're building with players in mind. Their approach to rewards provides real value and encourages players to stay active and engaged. This is the kind of thinking we like to see in Web3, where it's about making the experience more accessible, rewarding, and player-driven. We're looking forward to collaborating with the9bit as we help shape the future of player-first ecosystems" [2].

Martin Hoon, Head of Web3, The9 Limited, added, "We're thrilled to have YGG onboard the9bit platform. With their massive community of Web2 and Web3 gamers, this partnership marks a powerful step in delivering top-tier IP games to a truly global audience. the9bit is revolutionizing what a gaming platform can be — bringing players, creators, leaders, and developers together in one unified space where everyone can earn, grow, and collaborate. We're building a future where guilds, KOLs, esports teams, and communities can play together, earn together, and own together — and this is just the beginning" [2].

The9bit plans to work closely with YGG's regional leaders to roll out co-branded campaigns, live Any Me Anything sessions, in-game missions, and tournaments that highlight how players and creators can earn more together. As the Web3 gaming market matures, both teams believe that lowering technical barriers and focusing on real IP, real earnings, and real communities is the key to attracting the next million players [2].

YGG's proven track record in scaling player onboarding will help the9bit quickly expand its base of active users in Southeast Asia and beyond. With YGG's scholars already demonstrating high engagement and meaningful earnings, this collaboration will onboard hundreds of thousands of highly engaged players, streamers, and community leaders into the9bit's Spaces—driving content velocity, loyalty, and powerful word-of-mouth growth [2].
