Gamified Market Prediction Sprints to the YGG Play Launchpad in Roach Racing Club Collab

January 19, 2026

YGG Play is bringing the rush of Roach Racing Club to its Casual Degen ecosystem. The collaboration adds the title to the YGG Play Launchpad, actively introducing more players to its frenzied races, where they cross the finish line by making accurate market predictions. The game’s addition to the Launchpad integrates quests into its core gameplay to reward YGG community members for playing, boosting engagement, retention, and onchain activity within the game’s economy.

Built on Abstract, Roach Racing Club is a competitive simulated trading game that turns market prediction into a fast-paced race for rewards. The game puts players’ roach avatars on a race track, going head-to-head as they execute trades tied to live market movements, with each successful call pushing the roaches closer to the finish line. Designed to appeal to degens, streamers, and competitive players, Roach Racing Club is built around skill-based mechanics, rather than passive farming, and combines high-stakes gameplay with a strong onchain economy.

“We see this partnership with YGG Play as a natural extension of our existing collaboration,” said 0xRoachCoach, CEO of Roach Racing Club. “It is a strong foundation for long-term growth.”

Roach Racing Club’s original, gamified prediction format rewards skill and has proven highly appealing to Web3 players and creators. Since launching on Abstract, the game has paid out more than US$1.5 million in cumulative winnings, attracted over 450,000 players, and logged more than 9.2 million races — making it one of the top-performing titles in the Abstract ecosystem. Ongoing feature releases and an active competitive player base have supported onchain activity since launch.

YGG Play will support Roach Racing Club through smart contract-enforceable revenue share, player acquisition, marketing, and KOL activation. Notable KOLs from the Abstract ecosystem who will be promoting the Roach Racing Club quests on YGG Play include Badlynasty, GMB, lorenzo, Marcello, Micka Penguins, and Nickytha.

In addition, YGG Play’s flagship title, LOL Land, will feature an in-game collaboration with a Roach Racing-themed board launching on January 29, 2026. Roach Racing Club’s team is also working on in-game events, similar to last year’s collaboration, which saw the creation of the YGG Stadium map and over US$10,000 in prizes.

“We’re excited to partner with Roach Racing Club after several strong collaborations last year,” said Gabby Dizon, co-founder of YGG. “It’s a competitive, crypto-native game built around real market action. That’s exactly the kind of experience that Casual Degens want, which makes it a natural fit for YGG Play.”

YGG Play’s partnership with Roach Racing Club is its first for 2026, with the publisher aiming to add more developers and a variety of other games to its ecosystem over the coming weeks and months.
