Closed Beta is officially launching, and we’re opening the gates for hundreds of new creators to host events in Passage!
Whether you’re an event organizer, Unreal Engine builder, community leader, or experiential marketer, this is your chance to get in early and tap into the next wave of immersive, creator-driven experiences.
What's New in Closed Beta
Closed Beta will bring a host of new features and improvements to the Passage platform, along with key integrations with the Passage blockchain and Marketplace.
At launch, you’ll have access to:
- Mobile Support: Join events right from your phone, unlocking greater accessibility for users across devices.
- Hosting via Akash Network: Get a discount on streaming points thanks to hosting on Akash Network’s permissionless GPUs.
- NFT Gating: Create events for specific tokenholder communities like Chihuahua and Strange Clan.
- Avatar Customizations: Customize your avatar with accessories and NFT assets like fairies, astronauts, and gold pucks.
We’re also introducing monthly subscriptions, so you can pre-pay for discounted streaming points. There’s a subscription tier for everyone depending on attendees and usage, with a free starter plan all the way up to custom enterprise plans!
A World for Everyone
All Passage users will have access to five unique template worlds, with the chance to unlock access to new environments and features like trivia.
- Blok Hous, a dynamic entertainment venue
- The Passage Office, a sleek meeting space
- The Lab, a futuristic, collaborative space for creatives and builders
- The Dojo, inspired by Japanese culture and architecture
- The Oasis, a desert landscape and event hall
If you want a custom environment, you can bring your own right from Unreal Engine 5—or work with our creative team to design a space like we recently did for MIT and the NeoTokyo community!
What's Coming Next
Throughout the rest of Q2, we’ll be rolling out features and functionality for Beta users including:
- PASG Payments: Buy streaming points with Passage tokens.
- 3D Characters: Go fully 3D with avatar characters.
- World NFTs: Get access to exclusive environments and features like trivia.
- Companions: Bring your favorite sidekick to keep you company.
- NFT PFPs: Express yourself even when your camera’s off.
Our open-source community has also been hard at work on the Passage Marketplace, so stay tuned for new collections and drops from teams like Glitch Candies and AADAO.
