Soulbound's transition from a Web3 browser game to a conventional Steam release, explicitly dropping blockchain features, marks a notable retreat from the crypto-gaming model that defined its early life.

Indie developer SpiderWare announced a Steam version of the roguelite action MMORPG Soulbound. Originally a Web3 game called World Wide Webb, it attracted over 1 million players on browsers and Discord. The Steam release will not include web3 or blockchain features and supports solo or three-player co-op.
SpiderWare's Soulbound began as World Wide Webb, a Web3 game playable in browsers and on Discord. After rebranding in 2024, it accumulated over 1 million players. The newly announced Steam version strips out the blockchain layer entirely: the official Discord states there are no plans to implement web3 or blockchain in Soulbound. The game remains a roguelite action MMORPG with pixel art visuals, skill trees for tank, healer, and DPS builds, plus crafting and housing. It supports solo play and co-op for up to three players. SpiderWare has not set a firm release date beyond 'soon.'
