Thanks to this pack, they can start exploring this metaverse.
Highstreet World is a commerce-centered metaverse built with brand integration and on-chain features. 2022 will be a big year for Highstreet. This is because the team will be launching the game in four phases. The game is currently in its first phase, during which players can purchase homes in in-game regions such as Binance Beach and AVAX Alps.
