Gaming and Web3 is consolidating, usually picking one of the top blockchains. A few P2E game projects also venture out with their own blockchain. NFT mints tied to games also continue to recruit new buyers and players, and more projects are flocking in to curate the new offerings and games. Web3 features are not tied to a list, and games pick and choose which items to add.

NFT mints remain an important factor for P2E and Web3 games. Quality mints with potential value are still in demand.
The best approach is to use a brand-new wallet for mints, only loading enough funds for gas fees. Also, check gas fees in advance to make sure free collections will not bring exorbitant hidden costs. New mints remain a tool to join games early, and more P2E games abandon the model of over-priced NFT flipping, in exchange for low cost and incentives to hold items for the longer term.
