In the past few months, interest has shifted from games with a heavy leaning toward crypto projects, and into Web3 space. Web searches reflected this trend, and P2E gamers also shifted toward well-built games with the option to earn. Interest in startups that sell NFT or tokens, but have not completed their gameplay, has waned. Projects like The Sandbox, The VulcanVerse, Mobox and others continued going strong, and interest also shifted to the WEMIX ecosystem with its complex, ready-made games.

P2E Token Price Action
The market cap of all P2E tokens keeps recovering, reaching $6.16B, reflecting the remaining interest in blockchain gaming. However, the gameplay has taken precedence over token trading or investments.
NFT trading remains more subdued, though some of the games retain a significant part of their value. Web3 games shift to using NFT in the form of passes, whitelisting spots, or require NFT ownership to access exclusive events.
