Now, for the first time ever, MetaShot is opening its proprietary motion gaming platform and SDKs to a third-party studio. And the partner they’ve chosen is no small player — **Yudiz Solutions** is an NSE-listed game development company with deep expertise in AR/VR, AI, multiplayer, and immersive gaming experiences.

The result? The **world’s first smart pickleball game**, built exclusively for the MetaShot platform.

For context on just how fast pickleball is growing globally, [Wikipedia’s Pickleball page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickleball) paints a vivid picture of its explosive rise.

## What Makes This Special?

This isn’t just a new sports game — it’s a strategic platform moment. MetaShot is now positioning itself as an **open ecosystem** for third-party developers and studios, not just a single-product company.

Prince Thomas, CEO of MetaShot, summed it up well: the cricket title proved the model works. Pickleball is the first proof that others can build on top of it — fast, seamlessly, and at global scale.

Chirag Leuva, CEO of Yudiz Solutions, echoed that energy: the speed at which the integration was completed signals just how developer-ready the MetaShot tech stack truly is.

MetaShot also has a **developer funding programme** in the pipeline, which means more studios, more sports titles, and more motion-gaming innovation is coming. This is just the starting gun.
