Web3 games continue to trend based on special events and short-term prize opportunities. The NFT market has shed most of its activity, though separate collections and utility items are still an important part of Web3. The game market is also gaining traction, as Axie Infinity is now expanding its availability on Apple Store, while also running Origins Season 4, with highly competitive upgrades.

Other games retained their user base and made some gains against last week, mostly remaining within their usual range of activity. The top 20 of games is more active, with new arrivals from highly active Web2 games with a Web3 component such as a NFT airdrop or other on-chain activities.

P2E Token Price Action
The market cap of all P2E tokens recovered to $5.02B, bouncing off from last week’s lows under the $5B mark. The market for game tokens has been flat for a while, with some price action from AXS after Axie Infinity Origins expanded its presence on Apple Store.
Upcoming Mints, Airdrops and Giveaways
- Astral Dungeons MMORPG NFT Coming May 20
- Mercenaries of Efyria Artwork
- Oracle AI Collectibles Coming May 29
NFT ownership remains a perk for many games, with varied models from active external trading to mostly in-game items. Airdrops and low-cost mints can still be found, though overall trading is slowing down. Separate collections, however, have moments of activity where their floor price rises significantly and traders can sell for profit.
