Despite a noticeable slowdown in April 2025, blockchain gaming isn’t experiencing a decline but rather entering a healthy phase of maturation and strategic realignment. DappRadar’s latest report reveals that user engagement dropped by 10%, reaching a low of 4.8 million daily unique active wallets (UAWs), the lowest level since the year began. This dip was attributed to increased focus on artificial intelligence (AI) development. However, analysts remain optimistic about the sector’s trajectory. While user engagement fell, blockchain gaming is evolving beyond its play-to-earn roots, focusing instead on long-term sustainability through robust infrastructure and meaningful gameplay experiences. Investment in blockchain gaming also experienced a significant decline, dropping 69% from March to just $21 million. This dip is attributed to waning interest in speculative models and shifting investor focus towards emerging sectors like AI and real-world asset tokenization.
