# Can you still earn coins by playing games in 2024? Try these 8 games.

Don’t want to trade coins but still want to enter the market? Play-to-Earn games might be another way. The concept of earning cryptocurrency by playing games has been popular since 2021, and there are still people who are persisting.

**How to earn?** It's about earning coins while playing — complete tasks, win battles, sell NFTs, and exchange the in-game tokens for BTC or ETH. Many games are free to play, and you only need to spend money if you want to accelerate progress.

**Which ones are popular:**
- **Axie Infinity**: Raise monsters to fight and earn SLP
- **Gods Unchained**: A card game that issues GODS coin.
- **Splinterlands**: Card collecting + battles, earn DEC coin
- **The Sandbox / Decentraland**: Build houses to earn SAND and MANA
- **CryptoBlades**: Earn SKILL by slaying monsters
- **Alien Worlds**: Mine planets to earn TLM
- **Sorare**: Fantasy football team, earn ETH

**Is it worth it?** It depends on your expectations. Some people make a considerable monthly income from this, while others take half a year to break even. The key is to choose the right game + have patience. Although it's free to start, if you want to be efficient, you still need to invest some capital to upgrade your equipment.

**Risk Warning**: The cycle of projects in the coin circle is short; what is popular this year may cool down next year. Game tokens are highly volatile and do not guarantee stable income. While playing, you also need to pay attention to market trends, otherwise, the coins you earned may devalue, which would be awkward.
