Have you ever wondered about transforming your gaming hours into real money? A concept like that seemed to be too good to be true but not until the idea of play-to-earn gaming came into existence.

What is Play-to-Earn?

Play-to-Earn is a game model that allows players to monetize their time spent in the game and earn profits by collecting and selling cryptocurrency tokens and/or NFTs.The first legendary NFT game made on blockchain was CryptoKitties which paved the way for many P2E games released after it. Among those who followed the steps of CryptoKitties was Axie Infinity.

CryptoKitties

Axie Infinity followed the play-to-earn path and dominated the world. Until now, the game is still among the few ones that still continue to spearhead the P2E space even during tough economic times.

Types of Play-to-Earn Games

Just like traditional games, play-to-earn games also have different categories or genres in which they aspire to be the best. The most anticipated genres are divided into different niches.

Meanwhile, if you are leaning more towards calculative and strategic gameplay then maybe you want to try out genres such as auto-battlers, base building, card games, mining, puzzle, and turn-based strategy games.

Besides various genres, play-to-earn games also have different game types. Some P2E games are free to play while others require players to acquire assets right away to start playing the game.
