Welcome to our regular look at the most popular blockchain games, using data from DappRadar.
Looking at the headlines, Pixels saw some recovery of its audience in November: it remains the most popular blockchain game in terms of daily onchain activity.
However, it’s worth noting it continues to focus on rewarding its most committed players, this makes the game less valuable for casual players and bots, hence its general decline since August.
The launch of Lumiterra’s second closed beta test saw the MMORPG’s audience jumping as high as 350,000 DAUWs although this is much lower than the peak of 750,000 experienced during its first closed beta.
Looking at other high performing games, Gunzilla Games’ Off The Grid continued to sustain its audience at around 200,000 DAUWs, while mobile 4X game Age of Dino launched its first play-to-earn campaign, which was combined with traditional UA marketing, driving onchain activity over 200,000 daily active unique wallets on the BNB-based Xterio blockchain.
As with all such situations – including Lumiterra – while it’s relatively easy to gain audience for a new game that’s giving away stuff, the sustained playerbase these games can attract during 2025 will be much more significant.
Looking at other blockchains, Ronin continues to be the place on which games are finding a decent pre-launch audience of players and token claimers.
Prior to the launch of its WF token, mobile RTS Wild Forest reached all-time-daily-highs of more than 200,000 DAUWs, while The Machines Arena continues to experience high activity thanks to the launch of its latest play-to-airdrop campaign.
Axie Infinity also maintained its daily activity of 100,000 thanks to its ongoing AXS giveaway.
Things aren’t so positive for Immutable, with Boomland seeing a decline in terms of Hunters On-Chain’s second play-to-airdrop campaign, and Guild of Guardians‘ continual decline.
The brightspot, however, was the launch of Immortal Rising 2’s token airdrop event, which quickly attracted audiences of over 75,000 DAUWs.
