On November 26, Pi Network announced a deep, two-way integration with a gaming platform called CiDi Games. At least for now, the move seems to have reinvigorated the crypto community’s interest in the mobile-mining coin.
In a published on Pi’s website earlier this week, the company said it has entered a “strategic partnership” with CiDi Games, a company that will, in the near future, develop games integrated with Pi, as well as build integrations into existing games.
Pi argues that the partnership not only expands its real-world use-case, but also provides developers with a “clear signal” that the platform is committed to gaming at scale, and creates new opportunities for Pi holders and enthusiasts.
At the same time, Pi Network Ventures, the company’s venture capital arm, announced an investment in CiDi Games to “further strengthen” the partnership.
“By pairing Pi’s global reach with CiDi Games’ proven capabilities in building innovative games, the two organizations are setting the stage for a new era of Web3 gaming—one where Pi sits at the center of fun, accessible, and meaningful digital experiences,”
Even though CiDi Games is not exactly a household name and doesn’t have any games to show for, the announcement triggered a positive response from the community.
In the past 24 hours, since the announcement was made, Pi spiked 7%, from its $0.241 lows to $0.258. Whether it keeps its momentum while Bitcoin stalls and major altcoins dwindle, remains to be seen.
GameFi remains a large and growing segment overall. While it is impossible to precisely determine its market size, some estimates place it in the tens of billions of dollars, projected to rise to hundreds of billions within half a decade. In 2025, there are already thousands of GameFi projects across multiple blockchains and many genres, which means the industry made great strides in just a few years.
It is also worth mentioning that many GameFi projects were unsuccessful. Whether or not Pi succeeds is anyone’s guess, but with such a large, thriving, and engaged community, if anyone has a fighting chance, it’s Pi Network.
