ChainCatcher reports, citing CoinDesk, that according to data disclosed by market-making firm Caladan, around 93% of GameFi projects are now almost dead. Token values are down 95% from their peak in 2022, and funding for game studios is expected to plunge 93% by 2025. Investment in Web3 gaming has nearly completely dried up; capital is shifting to AI, real-world assets, and Layer-2 infrastructure, causing a collapse in the gaming industry. Even Animoca Brands, one of the most active investors in the Web3 space, has reduced its gaming business to about 25% of its investment portfolio and begun pivoting to areas such as stablecoins.

In addition, while 63% of Web3 venture capital in 2022 flowed into gaming, that share fell to single digits in 2025. More than 300 games have announced shutdowns, turning Web3 gaming into a cautionary tale about chasing speculation while ignoring product-market fit.
