Most popular blockchain games of February 2024

Welcome to our regular look at the most popular blockchain games, using data from DappRadar.

The rise of browser-based social RPG Pixels continues, with the game heading to 300,000 daily active unique wallets off the back of its PIXEL token launch, and most recently its pet NFT mint.

In comparison, previous #1 games Alien Worlds and Splinterlands show little signs of returning into growth, although both are working on initiatives to re-engage with their playerbases.

Things are more positive for idle RPG Nine Chronicles, which is experiencing steady growth, seeing over 50,000 daily active unique wallets across its original Nine Chronicles and newer launch Nine Chronicles M games. The data is for both titles combined.

When it comes to the next tier of blockchain games, Upland’s audience has remained steady at just over 20,000 DAUWs. However it’s now been overtaken by forthcoming Ronin title Apeiron, although at present Apeiron itself isn’t live as game. This data is tracking wallets interacting with its token pre-launch campaign.

Axie Infinity has also seen positive action, heading over 20,000 DAUWs for the first time in 2024.

Another game worth considering is Find Satoshi Lab’s Gas Hero, which has been successful in terms of driving NFT sales on the Polygon blockchain, but has a limited – and now declining – audience because of its NFT-gated gameplay. Anyone can play the tutorial but creating a game account currently costs around $100, and players then have to spend hundreds more to acquire the NFT characters to actually play.

In this way, perhaps it’s best viewed as an interesting example of how blockchain games can be lucrative even though they only have a niche audience.
