About Metaball

Metaball poster

Metaball reimagines basketball as a fast, futuristic sports game built for online multiplayer and crossplay, and it is free to play. You take on the role of a Rider chasing fame and fortune through the merciless matches of the Metaball League, teaming up with others to win games while stacking up M-coins and Rank points along the way.

The action revolves around a hoverboard and a chain used to grab and swing the ball, opening up a range of flashy moves. You can dunk, shoot, block, and steal, tap the nitro for a burst of speed, or chain together double and triple jumps to outmaneuver the competition. Several modes keep things flexible, including quick matches, ranked play for the competitive-minded, and private matches for going head-to-head with friends.

Every game rewards you with coins and points based on how you finish, with an extra bonus reserved for the match MVP, so there is always an incentive to play your best. Climbing the rank ladder unlocks rewards and exclusive perks, while the currencies you earn feed into a special shop, the Meta Pass progression, and a catalogue of equipment and items. It is an accessible, action-forward take on the sport that leans hard into casual, indie energy on PC.
