Top Web3 vs Web2 Games Statistics (2023)
among the most played web2 video games ever. In 2023, for every 1 Alien Worlds player, there are at least 51 Minecraft players.
Alien Worlds, a space exploration game that uses NFTs and tokens to simulate an economy, recorded a daily average unique active wallet (UAW) count of 230,978 in April. UAW is the web3 gaming metric for measuring an estimated number of players. In comparison, the sandbox game Minecraft had on average up to 11,900,543 people playing at the same time, in a day.
This significant gap in the number of players shows that the blockchain gaming sector is still at a very early stage – even the most successful web3 game has not yet captured a meaningful share of the gamer audience and gaming market.
