Developer Opti Games has officially launched the Preseason phase for its MOBA and sports hybrid, Sparkball, giving the blockchain gaming community various ways to win rewards of Season Zero.
How to Participate and Win Rewards in Sparkball Preseason
During Preseason, which started on May 22, you can participate a variety of events to win various rewards that will give you a head start in Sparkball Season Zero.
Specifically, this means that you can join in on game nights and community events to start collecting “Friendship” points. To do so, you’ll want to keep an eye on the game’s official Discord server for any upcoming events, but you should also sign up to the Preseason section of the game’s official website, which is also linked under the official X announcement. On their website, click on the dropdown menu in the top right and open the Preseason page. From there, you can create an account using an email address, but also through 2 social sign in options that include Google and Facebook.
With an account created, you will able to view the Preseason dashboard, where you will find an area in which you can add in the following event code: SPARKS. This is an official event code given for free by the developers in the X announcement, and if you activate it, you will be given 250 Friendship points for free. Aside from that, you can currently read the game’s own original web comic on the dashboard, as well as complete a social task in which you simply have to wishlist the game on Steam to earn 400 Friendship points. That’s about it for now; the dropdown menu has a Community page in which you can view an event calendar to see various opportunities coming up in the following days and weeks for more chances to stack more Friendship points.
Eventually, you will be able to earn more Friendship points by playing in Open Matchmaking Events, such as ranked matchmaking during the upcoming Steam Next Fest, which is set to run from June 9 to June 16. You might also be able to get a game code early by joining in on one of the future game nights. It's not specified what kind of rewards you will get to earn from collecting these Friendship points, but as usual, I guess we can hope for some kind of decent airdrop.

What Is Sparkball?
Sparkball is a fast-paced blend of MOBA and sports genres that delivers high octane 4v4 gameplay in which players take control of unique heroes to fight their opponents while attempting to bring the ball in the opposing net.
Each hero has distinct abilities to use to your team’s advantage as you defend your goal, knock opponents of the ball and score more goals to win the match. Brawl it out and create stylish shots as you work together to form complex tactics and achieve victory in what looks to be a fun PvP sports brawler that’s been described as “League of Legends meets Rocket League”.
The game is planned to launch in Q4 2025 on Steam for Windows PCs only. Before the official release, you can look forward to playing it in Steam Next Fest as a free to play title from June 9 to June 16, so be sure to wishlist beforehand to be notified of this limited time play period. At some point this summer, the developers also plan on launching Season Zero, which will be the game’s first ever battle pass and rewards campaign.
