A new Shib Portal build is now live—required for all users who want to access the next wave of updates inside Shiba Inu’s evolving metaverse.
The Shiba Inu development team has released a fresh build of the project’s existing desktop launcher, signaling the beginning of a critical upgrade cycle. While the Shib Portal itself has long served as the official gateway to Shib: The Metaverse and affiliated games, this new build is mandatory for those seeking to stay aligned with future features and experiences.
The update doesn’t introduce new content just yet—but it does reestablish the foundation on which upcoming modules, social tools, and blockchain integrations will be built. In essence, the build is about syncing the ecosystem before opening the doors to what comes next.
With the groundwork in place, users are now encouraged to update their launcher to the latest build to ensure continued access and compatibility.
How to Install the New Shib Portal Build
To install the new Shib Portal build, users should begin at one of the project’s official websites:

The development team emphasized that the software should never be downloaded from unofficial sources, as doing so could expose users to phishing attempts or malicious files.
Once downloaded, users can launch the installer file. On Windows machines, Microsoft Defender may display a security prompt—a common occurrence for newly compiled applications. In this case, clicking “More Info” followed by “Run anyway” will allow the installation to proceed.
After installation, the Shib Portal opens with two login options:
Create a traditional account using an email address and password
Or connect a Web3 wallet, such as MetaMask
Those opting for wallet access must ensure it is set to the Shibarium mainnet. This connection links the user directly to the Shiba Inu blockchain, allowing for integrated gameplay, identity, and transaction capabilities.

Whichever method is chosen, the selected username becomes the user’s identity within the portal and across Shiba Inu’s expanding metaverse layer.
To run the Shib Portal, users will need at minimum a Windows 10 PC with an Intel Core i5 processor and 8 GB of RAM. For a smoother experience and to future-proof for upcoming features, the team recommends a more robust setup: an Intel Core i7 processor and 16 GB of RAM.
A Hub for a Growing Digital World
Once logged in, the Shib Portal becomes more than just a launcher—it functions as a central hub for the Shiba Inu gaming universe. The home screen displays all available titles, clearly distinguishing between browser-based games and downloadable ones that run locally on a user’s machine.
This required update is a strategic reset. By bringing everyone onto the same version, the Shiba Inu team is laying a synchronized foundation for what’s next. It ensures that the Shib Army is equipped not just to enter Shib: The Metaverse, but to grow with it.
