5 Gaming Cryptos to Watch in 2022

Blockchain gaming, also known as GameFi, soared in 2021. This was partly due to a rise in play-to-earn gaming, and partly because the technology has evolved to power better games.

The concept of play-to-earn gaming was pioneered by Axie Infinity (AXS), which grew over 17,000% last year as millions of users logged on to breed, battle, and complete quests in this virtual world. Axie may or may not be able to hold on to its top spot in 2022. Regardless, it’s good to put some other gaming cryptos on your watchlist as blockchain gaming looks set to grow.

1. Gala Games (GALA)
   Gala Games’ price hit an all-time high in November, jumping about 550% in just a month. It has since fallen back and is now up almost 100% across the past six months. The platform boasts it makes “games you’ll actually want to play” and currently has various games in development.

Right now, Town Star, a play-to-earn game where people compete to build the best town, is the only one that’s ready to play. The seven games in development include a survival shooter game called Last Expedition, an intergalactic strategy game called Echoes of Empire, and a tower defense game called Fortified.

2. Star Atlas (ATLAS)
   We’ve drawn a distinction between metaverse tokens that are centered around virtual worlds and gaming tokens that are focused on games. But there is a lot of crossover between the two. For example, Star Atlas is both a metaverse and a gaming token.
