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…
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…
Does paying to start an NFT game make it likelier to survive? Across the 165-record registry, the answer is flatly no — and the honest version is more interesting than either marketing story. Charging entry never protected a game; the specific place a game put its NFT layer did. The numbers, by access model “Endings”…
A licensed IP is supposed to be the safest foundation an NFT game can have — a built-in audience, real brands, official sanction. The registry’s licensed set tells a different story: a third of the twelve licensed-IP records have already ended, a worse share than the registry average — and in two of the four…
“The game moved to another blockchain” sounds like one event. In practice it can mean several very different things — cards bridged to a new network, balances moved to a different chain than the assets, contracts redeployed while old ones freeze, or a game shut down entirely while its assets were absorbed into a wider…
“Axie Infinity” stopped being a single game a while ago. In September 2026 it is a cluster of four distinct products on Ronin — one live service, one replaced world, one just handed to its community, and one still in playtests. This is the honest map of what each one is, who maintains it, and…
“NFT game” assets get described with a lot of noise. Strip it back: a game NFT is simply an in-game item recorded on a blockchain instead of only in the developer’s database. What that actually buys you — playability, tradability, or nothing at all — varies enormously per game. This is the mechanics-level version. The…
WAX (Worldwide Asset eXchange) is the chain that made “free NFT games” real before it was a slogan: a custodial Cloud Wallet with no seed phrase at signup, gas-free transactions, and game studios that shipped to mainstream audiences. Two of the five tracked WAX games are verified active — the other three are running but…
Solana attracted blockchain gaming’s biggest bets — AAA budgets, console ambitions, franchise licenses — and its headline records tell the most dramatic story on this site. The seven flagship cases below split almost perfectly by ambition level — four living, three dead or paused — which is exactly why the cluster is worth a guide….
Blockchain games are still just games. Some are good, most are dead, and a small number are genuinely worth a player’s time in 2026. This is the practical starting path — what you need, what you don’t, and which verified titles are easiest to enter first. What “blockchain game” actually means for a player Under…
