The first months of the new year saw many of the older games entering a new phase. Open alpha and beta launches marked the past week, with projects going game-first and leaving tokenization for later. Games still offer NFT, though the pricing is more reasonable. Mystery boxes, tickets and battle passes are also a hot type of NFT, often used to raise a prize pool.

Games within more blockchain interactions, giveaways or special prize distributions also climb the list. Axie Infinity is just below 12K daily players, and has entered the second half of its Origins Season 2.

Free NFT may also require gas fee, so always check the conditions of the mint. Avoid using full wallets and only mint through official links. NFT mints do not guarantee price growth, but they can ensure early participation in games, communities, as well as secure new giveaways. Free drops, especially on networks with low gas fees, may be a tool to explore Web3 ownership and new games without a large upfront investment.
