Global Play-To-Earn NFT Games Market Size Expected to Reach $8.85 Billion In 2028

Palm Beach, FL – September 12, 2023 – FinancialNewsMedia.com News Commentary – Play-to-earn NFT game is a new type of game that allows players to experience the combination of gaming and blockchain. In NFT games, NFTs can be in-game currency, characters, maps, or any other game item. NFTs in NFT games have value in the market, and players can make money by selling these NFTs. Video games have changed the way a generation is entertained. Since Tennis for Two was introduced in 1958, the gaming industry has taken the world by storm. Games like League of Legends, Fortnite, and Minecraft are played by millions of players around the world. For example, the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) predicts that 227 million Americans play video games or about 66 percent of the U.S. population. Covering a wide variety of genres and devices, video games have become a major force in culture and entertainment.  A report from 360 Market Updates projected that the global Play-to-Earn NFT Games market size was valued at USD 3292.73 Million in 2022 and will reach USD 8856.95 Million in 2028, with a CAGR of 17.93% during 2022-2028.   Active Tech Companies from around the markets with current developments this week include:  The NFT Gaming Company, Inc. (NASDAQ: NFTG), Roblox Corporation (NYSE: RBLX), Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA), Funko, Inc. (NASDAQ: FNKO).

 

The 360 Market Updates report said: “In the past few years, a new game mode has gradually emerged in the blockchain ecosystem, that is, “play to earn”. This new game type uses crypto-assets and NFTs to secure ownership of in-game currency and items for players. And NFT directly connects the digital economy outside the game and realizes value in the real world. At the same time, with the rise of the “metaverse” concept and the increase in player demand, major game development companies are also gradually deploying the Play-to-Earn NFT Games field. Companies such as Good Player Entertainment recently signed an agreement with Fork Gaming to develop and launch the game-as-a-money NFT game Chosen Ones. Microsoft plans to acquire Activision Blizzard, as well as companies like Zynga and Coinbase to build NFT marketplaces and integrate NFTs into games. It can be seen that the market size of Play-to-Earn NFT Games will continue to expand during the forecast period.”
