Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are the next big technology taking the Internet by storm. These are digital assets minted through blockchain technology, offering indisputable ownership and a unique value to files in the metaverse.
In video games, NFTs often come into play as useable assets—from characters to items, land, and more. Players can purchase these assets from online NFT marketplaces using cryptocurrency or mint them directly in-game.

Axie Infinity
Axie Infinity is one of the most prominent play-to-earn games, offering a Pokemon-esque battle system where you can control up to three creatures—called Axies—to defeat foes in player-vs-enemy (PvE) and player-vs-player (PvP) modes. Playing the game will merit you smooth love potions (SLPs), which are cryptocurrencies used for breeding Axies or converting to real-life money.
While the game is free to download on Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS, you need three Axies to start playing, purchasable through a marketplace using cryptocurrency.
Sorare
Football fans unite! Sorare brings together trading cards, soccer, real soccer players, and NFTs together in a fantasy football game where you can build a team, help them train, and take them to the big leagues. The game is ultimately free-to-play, as you get free cards upon starting—but aiming high requires purchasing NFT player cards.
Splinterlands
Splinterlands is an NFT trading card game that’s reminiscent of Hearthstone, except that all battles are auto-played by the system. The game operates as free-to-play, but you can’t unlock any play-to-earn features, access the market, or join tournaments without purchasing the Summoner’s Spellbook for $10.
Playing the game will reward you with Dark Energy Crystals (DEC), cryptocurrencies that can be converted to real-world money. Meanwhile, players obtain coveted NFT cards by purchasing them on the online marketplace or as in-game rewards.
Gods Unchained
Gods Unchained is another play-to-earn NFT trading card game, where players build a deck of cards, trade with other players, and even create their own NFTs with the Gods Unchained (GODS) token. These tokens are cryptocurrency rewards that you can win through various in-game and web tasks.
The game is available to play through Windows and macOS. Unlike Splinterlands, it offers more control over battles—perfect for deploying creative strategies against enemies.
Lost Relics
Lost Relics is an RPG where you can enjoy the classic dungeon-crawling, chest-looting gameplay experience—but with NFTs to spice things up. Players can obtain NFT items from in-game drops, through the blockchain marketplace, or an online marketplace. The game is available on Windows and macOS.
