The iconic tournament launched its debut collectibles in 2022 under the name \u201cAO ArtBall\u201d. Each of the 6,776 NFTs represents a 17 x 17cm plot on a virtual court within AO Decentraland.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, this offers fans a different experience than the Australian Open Roblox game. Put simply, every time a tennis ball lands on a virtual plot, its corresponding NFT updates to reveal the match data. Moreover, each holder might gain access to exclusive perks including real-life tickets to AO matches and wearables, among others.<\/p>\n<p>For the 2023 Australian Open season, each AO ArtBall NFT to score a Match Point on the court can receive two tickets to its corresponding match in 2023. For example, if your ArtBall NFT scores a match in the Women\u2019s Doubles Final this year, you\u2019ll get tickets for the Women\u2019s Doubles Final in the 2024 AO tournament.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_90163\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-90163\" style=\"width: 2547px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><picture decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-90163 size-full\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/roblox-australian-open-game-metaverse.png.webp 1200w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/roblox-australian-open-game-metaverse-300x159.png.webp 300w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/roblox-australian-open-game-metaverse-768x406.png.webp 768w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/roblox-australian-open-game-metaverse-106x56.png.webp 106w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/roblox-australian-open-game-metaverse-150x79.png.webp 150w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/roblox-australian-open-game-metaverse-450x238.png.webp 450w\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%202547%201346'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 2547px) 100vw, 2547px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%202547%201346'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"digital replica of the Australian Open tennis court\" width=\"2547\" height=\"1346\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/roblox-australian-open-game-metaverse.png 1200w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/roblox-australian-open-game-metaverse-300x159.png 300w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/roblox-australian-open-game-metaverse-1024x541.png 1024w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/roblox-australian-open-game-metaverse-768x406.png 768w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/roblox-australian-open-game-metaverse-106x56.png 106w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/roblox-australian-open-game-metaverse-150x79.png 150w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/roblox-australian-open-game-metaverse-450x238.png 450w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 2547px) 100vw, 2547px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/roblox-australian-open-game-metaverse.png\"\/>\n<\/picture>\n<noscript><picture decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-90163 size-full\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/roblox-australian-open-game-metaverse.png.webp 1200w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/roblox-australian-open-game-metaverse-300x159.png.webp 300w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/roblox-australian-open-game-metaverse-768x406.png.webp 768w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/roblox-australian-open-game-metaverse-106x56.png.webp 106w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/roblox-australian-open-game-metaverse-150x79.png.webp 150w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/roblox-australian-open-game-metaverse-450x238.png.webp 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2547px) 100vw, 2547px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/roblox-australian-open-game-metaverse.png\" alt=\"digital replica of the Australian Open tennis court\" width=\"2547\" height=\"1346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/roblox-australian-open-game-metaverse.png 1200w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/roblox-australian-open-game-metaverse-300x159.png 300w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/roblox-australian-open-game-metaverse-1024x541.png 1024w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/roblox-australian-open-game-metaverse-768x406.png 768w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/roblox-australian-open-game-metaverse-106x56.png 106w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/roblox-australian-open-game-metaverse-150x79.png 150w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/roblox-australian-open-game-metaverse-450x238.png 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2547px) 100vw, 2547px\"\/>\n<\/picture>\n<\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-90163\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Users can play tennis matches virtually against their real-life friends or compete against AI avatars.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span id=\"Should_AO22_NFT_holders_mint_the_AO23_collectibles_too\">Should AO22 NFT holders mint the AO23 collectibles too?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you already own an AO22 collectible, you can still benefit from various perks.
