The rapid rise of blockchain technology in the gaming industry is driven by the increasing demand for player empowerment, ownership, and transparency. Moreover, this shift towards Web3 gaming is facilitated by the integration of NFTs and smart contracts, enabling players to own, trade, and profit from in-game assets. For example, in October 2024, Ubisoft launched its first blockchain game that allows players to purchase unique in-game assets such as NFTs. This move by a major game publisher reflects the growing trend of mainstream adoption of blockchain technology within the gaming industry. Also, the game was developed in collaboration with Oasys, a blockchain platform, further emphasizing the potential for blockchain to empower players with genuine ownership and control over their in-game assets despite earlier setbacks in the NFT space. In parallel with this, the growth of blockchain gaming platforms is underlined by Immutable’s performance in November 2024. The company recorded a 71% year-on-year growth, with 181 new game announcements and a substantial increase in daily transactions, demonstrating the potential for blockchain-based gaming ecosystems. Immutable’s adoption of its zkEVM platform further solidifies its position as a leader in Web3 gaming, providing scalability and lower transaction costs, which are critical to the future of blockchain gaming.

In line with this, blockchain-based gaming solutions are increasingly being integrated into various sectors, including online gaming and crypto casinos. For example, the launch of new crypto games by the European Web3 casino platform Bety.com in December 2024. Hash Banker Player is a blockchain-based casino game that ensures fairness through transparent hash histories and unique game rules, thereby catering to Europe's growing Web3 community. This development highlights the broadening scope of blockchain technology beyond traditional gaming, signaling a growing acceptance of decentralized finance and gaming experiences within the gambling sector. Overall, these advancements in the blockchain gaming space reflect a broader trend where the integration of decentralized technologies is shaping new forms of digital entertainment and gaming economies.
