Play-to-Earn Declines as Blockchain Gaming Shifts to Ecosystem Integrations
A recent survey shows reduced UX friction as traditional gaming expertise shapes blockchain, but mainstream credibility remains a challenge.
Blockchain gaming is reaching a new stage of maturity, with increasing numbers of players accessing games more seamlessly, according to an organization focused on advancing the technology in the gaming sector.
However, there are changes in the sector that could create dramatic shifts as traditional gaming developers come into play.
The changing tides coincide with major studios like Sony and Square Enix entering the space through layer-2 solutions, according to an industry survey released by the Blockchain Game Alliance (BGA) this week.
The report shows that 66% of projects are still trying to establish credibility, fighting against the misconception that blockchain games are linked to scams.
Despite this, the ease with which gamers can get into blockchain games has improved, with onboarding friction rates dropping from 79.5% last year to 53.9% in 2024.
