Web3 games continue to seek innovation tools, retaining their appeal even during a stagnant crypto market. With competitive economies, exclusive prizes and paid tournaments, many games remain sustainable. Axie Infinity retains its prominent spot, though with a changed model and with additional mini-games. The Web3 games still run the gamut from complex 3D worlds to mini-games and puzzles, using tried and tested loyalty models to build up their player base and add NFT holders.

P2E Token Price Action
The market cap of all P2E tokens slid to $4.86B, after new selling pressure pushed most leading assets to a lower range. Still, ETH remains above $1,880, supporting the value of decentralized trading.
Upcoming Mints, Airdrops, and Giveaways
Games continue to offer loyalty through NFT ownership. While sales and resales of NFT are far from the boom in early 2022, activity still picks up. Collections appear with new items, and go through periods of heightened trading. The potential for free NFT to gain value is keeping up the interest in free mints, low-cost mints, or special NFT events.
