BIG ANNOUNCEMENT We have been working toward this moment for a long time!

Today we officially launched Monarch Game Studios, a video game studio built on the idea that players deserve more than just a good game. They deserve to be rewarded for showing up. Monarch makes games, publishes games for other studios, and plugs everything into the XP Network platform so your playtime means something real.

Lou Castle, the man who created Command and Conquer, is our CEO. Catalyst Game Labs and Rising Empire Studios are founding partners. And as of today, anyone can invest at $1 a share with 8% bonus stock for limited time.

We are going live on XP Network at 4:00pm PST / 7:00pm EST on YouTube and Twitch to celebrate and answer everything the community has for us.

Come hang out with the team that built this.

Jason Hawronsky - CEO, XP Network

XP Network is attending GAMA 2026!

We’re excited to announce that XP Network will be live at GAMA with two official presentations on Monday, March 2nd at 12:30 PM and 2:30 PM in Room M110. Both sessions will showcase how XP Network helps publishers, retailers, and event organizers drive engagement, increase visibility, and reward their communities. If you’re attending GAMA, we’d love for you to join us at one of these times to learn more about how XP can power your events and partnerships. After our presentations, the XP Network team will be available throughout the rest of GAMA for networking, meetings, and live demos. Whether you want to explore a partnership, schedule a deeper walkthrough, or simply connect, we’re ready to meet!

In collaboration with our amazing partners, we’ll be giving out lots of XP during the show! We have set up an interactive quest system for GAMA attendees, where retailers can take advantage of major rewards and exclusive partner incentives available through XP Network. Participants can visit our partner booths, scan in through XP Network, and earn achievements and XP. The more booths you visit, the more XP you earn, stacking up points and rewards along the way.

Be sure to stop by, scan in, and experience firsthand how XP Network turns engagement into real value.
We can’t wait to see you at GAMA and help you level up with XP Network!

Stay tuned for our next news post about Lou Castle (Westwood Studios) and Andrew Costello (Shuffle Master) joining the XP Network team!
