Dublin, Feb. 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — “Global Blockchain Gaming Market Size, Share & Industry Trends Analysis Report By Platform (ETH, BNB Chain, Polygon and Others), By Game Type (Role Playing, Open World and Others) Collection), by Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2022 – 2028” report has been added ResearchAndMarkets.com’s Offering.
The global Blockchain Gaming Market size is expected to reach $104.5 billion by 2028, increasing at a market growth rate of 68.2% CAGR during the forecast period.
Video games that contain elements that use blockchain technology based on cryptography are known as “blockchain games” (also known as “NFT games” or “crypto games”). Players can buy, sell, or trade in-game items with other players when a video game uses blockchain technology, particularly cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). As a commercialization method, the game publisher deducts a fee from each transaction.
Because of the technologies they include that allow players to earn Bitcoin via gaming, a subset of these games are sometimes called ‘play-to-earn’ games. Numerous AAA publishers are looking to use this technology in the future. However, blockchain technology has drawn criticism from gamers, game creators, and game companies for being redundant, unsustainable, and exploitative.
Cryptocurrencies and NFTs, which use blockchain technology, are potential revenue streams for video games. Many online games allow players to customize their characters using skins or other in-game items, which they can acquire and trade with other players for in-game cash. Some games feature the ability to exchange virtual goods for real-world money. Blockchain games often allow players to exchange in-game items for cryptocurrency, which can be converted into real money. Due to the traceability of the blockchain, this can avoid specific problems with gray markets.

Increase in Internet availability and smartphone use
Mobile game players worldwide have increased due to the availability of high-quality smartphones.

Blockchain games are becoming more popular due to rapid technological advancements as they provide players with a unique experience and higher levels of enjoyment. As a result of technological advances such as virtual reality, artificial intelligence and augmented reality, games are becoming more engaging and exciting for players.

Insufficient knowledge of blockchain and NFT technologies
