Adoption of crypto through Mobile Gaming
The adoption of crypto through mobile gaming was a logical evolution, given the casual nature of mobile gaming. NFTs are digital artwork collections that fit perfectly with the colorful world of mobile gaming, as game art can be stored on-chain too. In addition, in-game purchases and the pay-to-win mentality have driven mobile gaming for years. The investors are already there, but now they can play to win and pay to earn.
Completing reward-based objectives and merging and upgrading items have long been staple components of mobile games. Introducing the NFT component is straightforward and opens new ways of liquidity in items two niches up to new potential investors.
Android is the most used mobile OS in the world
Since November 2022, Android has had a 42% market usage making it the most used mobile OS in the world. This makes it the ultimate platform for NFT gaming adoption. As a result, plenty of NFT games on Android are available to play now, and even more, are in alpha and beta testing.
With just 18% of the market, Apple iOS is lagging behind and also marred in the controversy surrounding Apple’s stance on pushing Gas Charges through the app store to earn a commission. Therefore iOS might not be the best operating system for NFT games.
Earning through games on your mobile phone
Earning money through gaming on your mobile phone is a matter of playing the games and listing your collected items on the in-game or any third-party marketplace. Unquestionably the more you play the game, the more cards you can acquire or create and the more you can earn.
Playing NFT games on Android, which are often these collectible card games right now, is a balancing act between using good cards to get better rewards versus selling good cards for real-world profits.
