What Are the Most Popular Blockchain Games?

Blockchain gaming is growing in popularity, with new projects popping up every now and then. Which of them is worth your attention? Some projects are distinguished by huge trading volumes, others are judged by their ROI, but the main indicator of a project’s popularity is the number of active users.

In the case of blockchain games, the number of active users is easy to determine. It equals the number of unique wallets.

So, let’s have a look at some data from DappRadar to determine what blockchain games are growing in popularity, and thus, are worth investing in.

Alien Worlds, Sprinterlands, Farmers World, and Planet IX Lead the List

Alien Worlds takes the 1st place based on the number of active users. It had over 200,000 active wallets on a daily basis during March. Specialists believe that the project owes such popularity thanks to the activities of its planetary DAO. However, we cannot disagree that without excellent gameplay that guarantees top user experience, this success wouldn’t happen.

The second place goes to Sprinterlands even though the daily activity of users is declining. Considering that this is one of the oldest blockchain NFT games, it is not surprising because the decline is observed in the majority of early P2E projects. And the fact that Sprinterlands still manages to stay in the 2nd place proves once more that this is a great game even though developers may think about some major upgrades or introduction of new features if they want to keep the project afloat in the long term.

Farmers World and Planet IX share the 3rd place. Both games have over 50,000 active daily users, and both of them have perspectives to prosper in the future. Farmers World is all about growing and collecting fruit and vegetables and completing complex combinations to get rewards.

Planet IX is another alien world that needs your help urgently to raise from the ashes and flourish. This topic seems to gain more popularity that’s why the project definitely deserves your attention.

Upland, Nine Chronicles, Sunflower Land, and Axie Infinity Keep Their Positions

Upland and Nine Chronicles take 4th place with an average activity of slightly below 20,000 active daily users.

Upland is a metaverse that is a real estate prosperity simulator. Lands are an old and constant trend in the metaverse world, and in Upland, one can get them for free! Nine Chronicles is a fantasy world where players help the goddess Freya in her eternal fight against all the evil of the world. It is managed by the community which is also a new trend in the metaverse world. So, its popularity may be growing as long as developers listen to the community’s suggestions and comply with players’ expectations.

Further goes Sunflower Land with daily active users of over 15,000. This is an open-source game that is all about farming, gathering resources, mining, fishing, crafting, and doing everything to build your own farming empire. The cute design looks very appealing, new activities are added constantly, and collectibles add value to the game.

Axie Infinity, which was once the top P2E game, takes 6th place with over 10,000 active users on a daily basis. Axie Infinity experienced explosive growth during the COVID pandemic when plenty of people lost their jobs, and many of them turned to Axie Infinity as a constant source of income.

Since then though, the popularity of the game has been slowly dropping. Now, when developers have introduced such features as scholarship that allows players to play without investing in purchasing NFTs and in-game tokens, the situation is improving.

Bottom Line

P2E is a very dynamic sector. Games that were successful once cannot compete with newcomers or have to change the entire approach to stay afloat. That’s why we recommend choosing carefully tokens you buy if you consider them as an investment option.
