Play-to-earn games (P2E) do what traditional video games don’t — reward players for their time and effort spent in the game. After all, the players do create game content simply by participating and providing interactions for other players.
And while many games have switched to the phrase ‘play and earn’, or the term ‘web3’, the idea remains the same — the ability to own game items as NFTs, and the ability to earn while playing in some manner. Sometimes those two things are the same. Sometimes not.
But what is the same, is that each P2E game offers a way for players to be rewarded for their in-game activity. Some P2E games will require an initial investment, while others are free to play. But whatever your interest, there is something in the world of blockchain gaming to cover it. And though many games are still in development, they range from simple web games, to mobile, to FPS, to galaxy-spanning strategy games, to MMOs, and more! Keeping track of all of them can be a tough job, and so we’re here to help!
Below are a few recommendation as well as our (ever growing, and ever updated) list of web3 enabled games with same basic info as well as links to our articles and game guides!
Top Picks
About The Sandbox
The Sandbox is an interconnected world of unique game experiences. With land plots of varying sizes, each land owner can build their own creations using a visual game builder. The Sandbox is still in alpha testing, but if you’re interested in play-to-earn games, this should definitely be on your radar. Check out our full The Sandbox review to learn how to get started.
Key Attributes
More Info
The Sandbox consists of thousands of plots in a variety of sizes. Within each plot lies the unique creation of the plot owner. This could be a game, a social hub, or whatever else can be imagined and built. Sandbox is voxel-based, giving it a Minecraft feel. Assets inside of each experience are individual voxel objects, which can be imported from external editors.
Built on Unity and featuring an ever-growing scripting language, the Sandbox Game Maker gives builders quite a bit of opportunity to create something unique. Plot owners have complete control over what is built in their plot.
The games created so far range from RPGs to side-scrollers, to business management sims to dance games, and more. Players can join and play any public experience via the Game Maker. Most are single-player adventures, though some offer a chance to socialize with other players. The Sandbox also has a steady stream of events and giveaways for players who complete quests on specific experiences.
About Alien Worlds
Alien Worlds is a play to earn game built on the WAX blockchain. It features a universe of six worlds, each with 500 land plots. Every plot is player owned and represented by an NFT. Players can earn Trilium in-game, transfer it to Binance Smart Chain, and earn more Trilium through a staking system. Alien Worlds features click to earn mining, and a player-run DAO system for each individual planet who an choose how to distribute their daily allotment of TLM tokens.
Key Attributes
More Info
Alien Worlds is one of the elder generation of WAX games. They first announced their game in July of 2020 and followed up with several NFT sales in October, and their first and only land sale in December of that same year. Mining on land plots opened up not long after the land sale, and the team has slowly and steadily improved their website and added additional features since then, including a gameified staking system on the Binance Chain. Alien Worlds is a member of the Blockchain Games Alliance.
The basic mining game is not especially exciting. But the introduction of player-run, Planetary DAOs has added a new layer to their ecosystem that will continue to grow and expand. This system provides empowerment and economic incentive for the DAOs to build and improve upon the Alien Worlds experience through incentive programs, third party app development, and more!
Getting started with Alien Worlds is completely free.
About Gods Unchained
Gods Unchained is a collectible, fantasy, and trading card game built on the Ethereum network. It’s free to play, easy to get started, and offers play-to-earn opportunities right out of the gate.
Key Attributes

In Gods Unchained, two players face off in an arena to determine who is the most powerful. Whether they choose Nature, Light, Deception, Death, War, or Magic, the goal is always the same: reduce your opponent’s God’s health to zero.
With several card expansions available, Gods Unchained offers opportunities for a wide variety of playstyles. They are also currently building a mobile version of their app.
In 2019, Gods Unchained rebranded its parent company into Immutable and began development on ImmutableX, an NFT-focused, layer two solution for Ethereum. ImmutableX launched its marketplace in 2021, and today it serves as a gas-free trading hub for Gods Unchained cards as well as a number of other NFT projects.
About Splinterlands
Splinterlands is a play-to-earn trading card game that plays in a browser. It started on the Steem blockchain as Steemmonsters but eventually switched to the Hive blockchain.

Key Attributes
More Info
Splinterlands is a cross between a deck-building game and an auto-battler. Players use their cards to create a combat lineup based on the rules of the match. Then, once both sides submit their teams, the cards battle it out until only one team remains. Players earn Dark Energy Crystals when winning matches and can also earn additional cards and other rewards through Daily Quests and a recurring, two-week leaderboard contest.
Players combine cards to level them up for better stats and additional abilities. Cards come in both regular versions and rarer, gold foil versions. Splinterlands features its own in-game market and allows for buying, selling, and even leasing cards!

Key Attributes

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Blockchain Games?
Blockchain games games are games that use blockchain technology to store game assets and distribute rewards to their players, either through cryptocurrency or through NFT rewards. Some blockchain games require the player to own a specific NFT or to hold a specific cryptocurrency in order to play the game, while others are free-to-play to anyone.
How to get started in play-to-earn gaming?
Play-to-earn gaming should start with research. Take some time to learn about the types of play-earn-games and which ones seem fun to you. You may want to start with a game that is free to play, just to get the hang of it. If you decide to invest in a game, make sure you understand how the game works and how you can earn money. Then, you’ll need to create a crypto wallet, buy cryptocurrency, and eventually buy NFTs. For more tips, read our guide on how to get started with play-to-earn games. Browse our website to learn more about current and upcoming play-to-earn games, and join our Discord community to chat with other players.
How to set up a wallet for play-to-earn games?
Getting started with play-to-earn games? You’ll need to buy cryptocurrency, which can be done at an exchange or sometimes through the crypto wallet itself. If you keep your crypto on a non-custodial cryptocurrency wallet, you have full control over it. Many different wallets exist, so you’ll need to choose one compatible with your device and the blockchain you want to use. The most popular wallet is MetaMask. MetaMask is compatible with different blockchains such as Ethereum, Polygon, BNB chain, Avalanche, and many more.
What’s the Play-to-Earn Business Model?
The play-to-earn business model is a model that embraces the concept of the open market and provides financial rewards to players, investors and game developers. You can participate in the model by simply playing a game, investing in digital assets (NFTs), or by developing your own project.
Each play-to-earn game has its own economic model and needs to find the right balance in order to sustain a viable in-game economy for everyone involved. Many developers have moved away from using the phrase, play to earn, instead referring to their games as play and earn or web3-enabled.
What are NFTs or Non-Fungible Tokens?
NFT stands for Non-fungible token. An NFT represents a digital item with a unique owner. They can be associated with a piece of art (an image, a video, an audio file) or any other item with a unique identifier (it could be a concert ticket or a certificate of ownership). In blockchain games, NFTs are usually game assets such as characters, a plot of land, or a specific game item.
What is the Metaverse?
Nowadays, we hear the word metaverse used everywhere. But what is the metaverse? There is no simple answer, especially because many projects like to call themselves a metaverse. For us, the metaverse is the sum of many projects that are interconnected and interoperable. We could describe the metaverse as a parallel universe that can redefine who we are, what we do and how we do it.
Are there free blockchain games?
Yes, there are free blockchain, or play-to-earn, games. These games do not require an initial investment in cryptocurrency or NFTs to get started. A few examples of free play-to-earn games include Gods Unchained, Alien Worlds, and Splinterlands. See the full games list on this page for which games are free to play
