Gaming Creators Launch Player-Owned Studio

More than 50 popular gaming creators have launched Gallaxia, a new player-owned gaming and entertainment studio that gives creators direct ownership in the projects they help build. The studio aims to merge AAA-quality gameplay, creator influence, and cross-platform entertainment under one connected ecosystem.

The founders include some of the biggest names in mobile and console gaming, such as Panda, Levinho, Sevou, and iFerg, alongside former Chelsea FC footballer James Ashton. Together, the group commands an audience of over 200 million followers and more than 30 billion total views across platforms, making this the largest creator-led collective in gaming history.

Gallaxia's team says the goal is to create an ecosystem where creators are not only the faces of the games but also stakeholders with long-term ownership and participation in the development and revenue of every project under the Gallaxia umbrella.

Building games for the players, by the players

Unlike traditional studios that hire creators for short-term collaborations, Gallaxia is structured around creator co-ownership. Each member of the collective holds a stake through Gallaxium Bars, digital assets linked to the revenue generated from every title and product in the Gallaxia network.

Panda, one of Gallaxia's co-founders and a leading mobile gaming creator, said the project is about turning years of community building into something players can be a part of. Levinho added that the studio's mission is to reshape how a gaming and entertainment studio operates, emphasizing that Gallaxia will build with the community rather than for it.

Sevou also noted that this approach changes the creator's role entirely, shifting from acting as a marketing asset to becoming an active builder and storyteller within the gaming ecosystem.

Planet-X: Gallaxia's first major title

The first title to debut under the Gallaxia banner is Planet-X, a free-to-play treasure-hunt shooter where players compete daily for real-world rewards. Combining elements of competition and discovery, the game has already reached 300,000 verified sign-ups and generated over $500,000 in early sales before its official marketing rollout.

Planet-X will soon migrate to the Gallaxia chain, integrating live creator-led events, digital item ownership, and physical prize distribution. During early test campaigns, even minimal social media activity from Gallaxia's co-founders produced strong results — one stealth post generated 2.4 million views and 10,000 new followers within two days.

This built-in reach from over 50 cross-promoting creators gives Gallaxia a distinct advantage, allowing new game launches and updates to reach tens of millions of players without traditional marketing costs.

Expanding beyond games

While gaming is the foundation, Gallaxia's long-term plan extends into entertainment partnerships and real-world experiences. The studio is already working with public figures across sports and entertainment, including NBA Champion Isaih Joe, who will contribute signed jerseys and in-game prizes as part of the GO-hunt augmented reality experience.

James Ashton, co-owner of Gallaxia, described the studio's direction as building "the next Riot Games on-chain," aiming to merge community-driven ownership with high-quality production values.

The technology powering Gallaxia

The Gallaxia Foundation operates the $GLX protocol, the utility token supporting all games and transactions within the Gallaxia ecosystem. This blockchain-powered structure underpins the studio's player-ownership model and aligns with the principles of the evolving web3 gaming space.

Unlike many web3 gaming projects that struggle to attract mainstream audiences or maintain consistent engagement, Gallaxia benefits from its built-in creator network, ensuring immediate exposure and organic reach from launch.
