A recent industry survey by the Blockchain Game Alliance (BGA) reveals that traditional gaming developers such as Sony and Square Enix are entering the blockchain gaming space through layer-2 solutions. However, the report shows that 66% of blockchain game projects are still struggling to establish credibility and overcome the misconception that blockchain games are associated with scams. Despite this, the ease of onboarding users into blockchain games has improved, with friction rates decreasing from 79.5% in the previous year to 53.9% in 2024. The report emphasizes the principle of player empowerment, with ownership being the primary attraction for gamers interested in blockchain-based experiences. The BGA predicts that in 2025, blockchain gaming platforms will focus more on player experience rather than financial mechanisms, transitioning away from overt crypto elements and integrating Web3 functionality seamlessly in the background. The shift towards blockchain-based infrastructure allows for true digital ownership through on-chain asset tracking and trading. Additionally, the report introduces the concepts of autonomous worlds (AW) and fully on-chain games (FOCGs), which describe games that operate entirely on-chain, including game rules, player items, and in-game economics. These advancements in blockchain technology and AI integration have the potential to create intelligent and adaptive gameplay experiences.
