I saw the update on discord, so I popped over to https://play.vyworlds.com/ and was greeted with this message:
Yep, it's as simple as it sounds. Connect your wallet, play, get an NFT.
Note: at the moment, it looks like the update has come with a bug and connecting your wallet isn't as seamless as it was just yesterday. Devs are aware and working on it. I hope it gets resolved soon so we can see the new graphics. The alpha graphics were definitely due for an overhaul!
