The last year saw a surge in interest in mobile gaming, cryptocurrency, and user-generated content, creating the groundwork for the rise of the Play-to-Earn gaming business. The NFT craze sweeping the world and the popularity of mobile games have created an entirely new genre of games that are extremely popular with gamers.
According to a survey, one in every three Filipino players is willing to quit their work to play P2E NFT games like Axie Infinity. As a result, you may imagine that these games provide more benefits than their 9-to-5 jobs.
Role of Mobile Devices in Our Daily Life
People have adjusted to a continuous pandemic over the last year. New strains of the virus have kept people worldwide on high alert. Industries have shifted, bounced, and reemerged; working practices have evolved, and customers continue to value mobile devices over PCs.
A recent study revealed that a typical person spends 4.8 hours on their phones. Mobile gaming was in tremendous demand, with 83 billion downloads alone in 2021. When combined with P2E, mobile phones are propelling the game industry to new heights.
