In 2024, Telegram became the largest game-distribution event blockchain gaming has ever produced: tap-to-earn mini-apps that needed no download, no wallet and no crypto knowledge pulled in claimed audiences of 35, 47, 63 and 300 million players. The NFTVideoGames registry tracks four verified TON records from that wave. Eighteen months on, the measured answer is…
My Pet Hooligan is a paid early-access social shooter — a chaotic cartoon open-world where your hooligan causes mayhem against AMGI’s AI overlord. The honest framing: it’s one of the few “NFT game” cases where the blockchain layer is in transition — development restarted in January 2026 after downtime, the Polygon contract ended in 2025…
NFL Rivals is the NFL’s officially licensed arcade football game for phones — free to play, built by Mythical Games, and quietly the most mainstream on-ramp to NFT player cards anywhere. The start is simple: install the official app, play, and ignore the web3 layer entirely until you want it. The game’s Year 3 rebuild…
FIFA Rivals is the officially licensed FIFA arcade football game for phones — free, built by Mythical Games, and currently mid-season: the Fresh Ink 2026 season kicked off September 17, with weekly content running year-round. The start is a straight line: install the official app, play, and leave the NFT layer alone until you actually…
Catizen is Telegram’s top-grossing game — a cat-merging mini-app that grew into a 30-title Game Center. Starting takes one tap inside Telegram and costs nothing; the honest version is that it’s a free casual game with an optional token layer, not an income — the CATI earn window peaked with the 2024 airdrop. What Catizen…
Arbitrum is the mirror image of Avalanche in our registry: four tracked games, and not one confirmed thriving. A dead chain operator, a quiet unicorn, and two orphans of the Treasure DAO collapse — this is what a gaming chain looks like when the games leave, not when they arrive. The cluster at a glance…
In 2021, “play-to-earn” was the pitch that put millions of wallets into games — Axie’s SLP economy, STEPN’s sneakers, the BNB bomber clones. Five years on, our registry gives a concrete answer to what happened to that generation: most of the era’s flagship titles are still running, but almost none of them still run on…
The NFTVideoGames registry passed a hundred tracked games on September 22, 2026 — 103 records, each carrying a status verified against primary sources and a dated re-review. This is a snapshot of what that set contains as of that date: who is alive, who is not, who is dying, and what the distribution says about…
Blockchain games die in at least twenty-five documented ways. Coming back is rarer — but the verified registry now holds a dozen documented revival attempts: IP acquisitions, community takeovers, engine restarts, token rebuilds and chain hops. Some produced a genuinely living game. Most produced a holding pattern. This is what the record says about who…
In 2021, BNB Chain — then Binance Smart Chain — was the densest GameFi habitat ever assembled: low fees, fast blocks, and a retail audience primed by play-to-earn made it the default launchpad for a generation of NFT games. The NFTVideoGames registry now tracks 24 verified BNB records, and the chain’s 2021 cohort is the…
