Blockchain gaming saw remarkable growth in January 2025, with onchain activity tripling compared to last year, according to DappRadar. Web3 games attracted over 7 million daily active wallets, reflecting a 386% increase.
Key drivers include advancements in layer-2 technology, evolving token economies, and partnerships with major developers. OpBNB led the sector, while Polygon doubled its gaming activity. AI integration and innovative game mechanics are also shaping the industry’s future.
Despite this surge, blockchain gaming investments fell 38% year-over-year, as companies focused on deploying existing capital. However, confidence in Web3 gaming remains strong, signaling continued innovation ahead.
