Research: over 50% of game developers use blockchain and tokens

The head of Straits, Chris Trew, based on his own research, believes that in the coming years, high-budget PC games using DeFI and GameFi will appear on the market.

Straits, in a survey of 197 video game development companies in the US and UK, found that more than half (58%) of those surveyed
develop games on blockchain, and 47% have already started integrating NFT into video games. 72% of respondents are exploring the possibility of using blockchain and NFT for new games, and 56% plan to do so next year. More than half of respondents (64%) believe that most games will be released on the blockchain over the next two years, and 53% agree that NFT will become more common in video games during this time.

When asked “Why is blockchain important in games in the gaming industry?” 61% of respondents said that it makes games more modern and interesting, while 55% believe that technology allows gamers to make money doing what they love. More than half of game developers (57%) use DeFi or GameFi to offer players financial incentives to stay in the game and progress quickly. Video game studios most often use the “play to make money” model (46%). In second place is the integration of NFTs tied to in-game items (44%), game tokens are introduced a little less often (42%).

Stratis CEO Chris True believes blockchain and NFT are the future of video games. These technologies are already being used in mid-budget games to reward gamers for gameplay and quick progress, he said.

“We expect video game developers to release high-budget blockchain and NFT games in the coming years.”
