World, the crypto project co-founded by OpenAI’s Sam Altman, has partnered with Razer, a major global lifestyle brand for gamers, revealing ‘Razer ID verified by World ID’.
According to the press release shared with Cryptonews, the collaboration aims to put “human gamers at the center of the AI gaming revolution.”
Gamers can use their Razer ID to create a World ID account and verify as human.
‘Razer ID verified by World ID’ is available in 22 countries, including Austria, Germany, Poland, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Argentina, Mexico, the United States, and more.
The team explained that the ‘Razer ID verified by World ID’ is a novel single sign-on (SSO) proof-of-human technology. In short, it will verify real human gamers for Razer ID, proving that a person is behind every Razer ID account.
Furthermore, the unified SSO enables people to log into all services and software within the Razer ecosystem. This includes game payment services, a game booster, a unified cloud-based hardware configuration tool for full customizations, and a rewards program, the team said.
In turn, this will create “a safer, more authentic, and immersive environment for gamers worldwide.”
Additionally, it will give game developers a tool to build dynamic spaces for humans, not bots, and streamline player authentication for seamless logins.
Meanwhile, the new SSO’s first integration will be the TOKYO BEAST game. The human-verified accounts will highlight the project’s authenticity, said the announcement.
Notably, the tech aims to protect players from bots, scams, and misinformation. This is key given that the game allows NFT collection and in-game purchases through Razer Gold, a game payment service combining payment aggregation, wallet, webshop, and gift cards.
“World ID enables gamers to distinguish between authentic human interactions and AI-generated content, all while safeguarding their privacy,” commented Tiago Sada, Chief Product Officer at Tools for Humanity, a key contributor to World.
Gamers Want to Know if Their Competitor Is a Bot
The press release highlighted that AI-driven gaming is swiftly becoming the new normal.
“As AI continues to reshape the gaming world, we want to empower gamers and game developers with the tools they need to navigate this transformation safely and confidently,” said Wei-Pin Choo, Chief Corporate Officer of Razer.
To have fair competition and protect the human experience, “developers must be able to build trusted, human-only game experiences that keep AI bots out,” the exec said.
Meanwhile, Echelon Insights recently conducted a third-party survey of gamers, commissioned by Tools for Humanity. They found that gamers are running into external or unauthorized bots “somewhat often” and that these bots make the gaming experience “less fun and less fair.”

Also, 59% of the surveyed gamers reported that they regularly encounter unauthorized, third-party bots in games. Therefore, AI and bots are changing the gaming experience for players, the report concluded.
It explained that 59% of respondents say it is “extremely or very important to know whether they are competing against a bot or a real human in the game.”
Furthermore, 71% of gamers say bots are “ruining” multiplayer competition. 74% say they make it less fun to play certain games. Notably, 18% have stopped playing a game entirely in response to bots.
Therefore, 77% of gamers, across generational demographics, agree its relevant to prove humanity online. Also, 75% of gamers who play more than 10 hours per week want online gaming platforms to use biometric technology to verify humans.

The team noted that ‘Razer ID verified by World ID’ solves all these issues for gamers and developers, delivering more value to both.
