đź“ť April 2025 Blockchain Gaming Report

April 2025 saw blockchain gaming reach its lowest daily user count of the year, but underlying development continues. Read the full DappRadar report analysis.

What’s Going On Here?

April 2025 marked a slowdown in blockchain gaming user activity, with daily active wallets dropping to 4.8 million, the lowest in 2025 so far. According to DappRadar, web3 user attention is shifting toward AI applications and real-world asset platforms, though development within blockchain gaming remains steady, with major updates, game launches, and infrastructure investments continuing to shape the space.

What Does This Mean?

While blockchain gaming’s market share and daily activity fell, the industry is not contracting but recalibrating. Developers are focusing less on short-term speculation and more on sustainable gameplay, token utility, and platform interoperability. Chains like Ronin, Avalanche, and Immutable continue to evolve, and traditional studios (Sega, Ubisoft, Netmarble) are deepening their web3 integrations. However, funding fell 69% month-over-month, showing caution among investors, with most capital now flowing into infrastructure over games.

Why Should I Care?

This moment represents a maturation phase for blockchain gaming. The initial hype is fading, but what’s emerging is a more resilient and thoughtfully structured industry. If you're a developer, publisher, or investor, this shift signals that future success will depend on game quality, user retention, and ecosystem depth—not just token launches. For players, it means better-crafted experiences are on the way, with more meaningful digital ownership and cross-game utility.

✍️ Reviews of the Week

Step into an intense battlefield of a fast-paced FPS followed by a nostalgic charm of classic 2D MMORPG in our two featured reviews:

Shatterline is an ambitious FPS that blends the intensity of roguelike PvE with fast-paced PvP, offering something unique for players looking for a fresh experience. While the game currently faces challenges, such as occasional bugs, cross-region latency, and a relatively small player base, it’s a hidden gem waiting to be discovered by more gamers.

MapleStory N truly feels like a blast from the past, bringing back the nostalgic charm of classic 2D MMORPG gameplay while weaving in modern web3 integration. Sure, there are some areas that could use improvements, like onboarding accessibility and loot collection mechanics, but the game’s strengths shine through.
