The Solana Game Pass is back and bigger than ever. Following the success of Season 0 in April, Solana Gaming has launched Season 1, introducing a $40,000 prize pool, new quests, and weekly game challenges — all with no NFT minting required.
This season brings open access to players. Instead of minting an NFT pass on Magic Eden as in the previous season, users can immediately join via Galxe, the new partner platform for Season 1.
Players can now complete weekly missions, compete in Solana-based games, and earn points that act as raffle tickets for end-of-season rewards.
Participation is simple. Players can visit the Solana Gaming Galxe Page and start completing tasks instantly:
Main Quest Hub: Galxe Solana Gaming
Game Pass Quest Page: Galxe Quest Page
Week 1 Game Quests: Week 1 Quests
Each completed task earns points, which double as raffle tickets toward the $40,000 prize pool.
Season 1 introduces weekly content updates featuring new games, social quests, and competitive events. Each week, 1–2 game competitions will be held, rewarding top performers with bonus prizes and leaderboard recognition.
Players can also participate via the Solana Gaming Discord, which features a Reward Hub for tracking progress, unlocking multipliers, and earning community-based rewards. Members can select roles for their favorite Solana titles and access dedicated game channels.
Solana Gaming continues to expand its social presence through live streams on X (Twitter) and YouTube. These broadcasts include USDC and NFT giveaways, interactive sessions, and updates on ongoing events. Viewers can win prizes simply by watching and engaging with the streams.
The first week of Solana Game Pass Season 1 highlights five flagship games from the Solana ecosystem, representing various genres from PvP shooters to open-world adventures.
A high-fidelity MMO built on Unreal Engine 5, Star Atlas immerses players in an intergalactic conflict among three factions — MUD (humans), ONI (aliens), and Ustur (androids). Players can explore, trade, and battle for dominance while earning rewards.
PrimeSkill’s PvP “win-to-earn” model lets players compete for prizes using real skills. Backed by WagerTech, its upcoming title FrontStrike is scheduled for release in 2025.
Combining fantasy and sci-fi, this game features a TCG (trading card game) and an action RPG, Arise. Players collect digital cards, explore dungeons, and battle in real-time for rewards.
Set in the world of Dreva, Pikamoon blends creature collection, PvP battles, and Battle Royale modes with play-to-earn mechanics. Players act as “The Lost Ones,” taming creatures called Pikamoons in an evolving world.
Octo is a mobile-first casual gaming app offering digital and physical rewards. Players compete in 1v1 matches, earn Golds, and redeem them for prizes. A dedicated OTK token is in development as a second reward system.
Season 1’s first Competitive Arena launches with Star Atlas, featuring a $1,000 prize pool from October 24 to October 27. Players can enter by downloading the game and participating in racing or gunplay events.
Top 10 players on the Ink Leaderboard will win cash prizes:
| Rank | Prize |
|---|---|
| 1st | $200 |
| 2nd | $170 |
| 3rd | $140 |
| 4th | $120 |

| 6th | $85 |

There are six Star Atlas events planned during the opening weekend, offering multiple chances to reach the leaderboard.
Running parallel to the Game Pass, Star Atlas’ Iris’ Blessing campaign features its own $30,000 prize pool and six months of challenges. Players can earn double XP and double Ink, with all progress counting toward Solana Game Pass Season 1’s leaderboard.
Players can complete various social and in-game missions to earn raffle entries, including:
Following @GamingOnSolana_ and partner accounts on X
Watching Solana Gaming live streams
Joining and verifying in the Solana Gaming Discord
Completing missions in featured Solana titles
Exploring new games through Galxe quests
Tasks such as joining specific game communities (e.g., Star Atlas, Cross The Ages) or adding games to your wishlist also contribute to your total score.
Season 1 includes over 30 different Solana games, with new titles introduced every week. Each cycle brings fresh missions, competitions, and community events.
Players can stay informed about all ongoing quests, game features, and prize announcements by joining the official Solana Gaming Discord or following updates on Galxe.
