Listen, Web3 gaming didn't die — it's just that most trash projects disappeared during the bear market. Now, the ones that remain are building something serious. I've been testing some p2e games this year, and there are a few worth considering if you want to earn while playing.

Illuvium is one of the most polished. It's a true RPG with AAA graphics, not one of those games that look like they're from 2010. You can do staking, farm gear, and early adopters are making quite a bit. The numbers you see around $30-100 per month depend on how much you play, but it's realistic.

Big Time is also interesting — it's an action RPG with real combat. It's not a clicker in disguise. The gear NFTs have value and can be traded. Pixels en Ronin is more casual, like a farming sim but without gas fees. Many people jumped in when the airdrop del token came out.

Then there are shooters — Nyan Heroes is a hero game with mechs (Yes, it's as weird as it sounds), and Shrapnel is an extraction shooter made by people who worked on Halo. Both are in early stages but have a lot of potential.

The reality is that these p2e games in 2025-2026 work best if you enjoy playing first and wait for the earnings later. If you only get in for the money, you probably won't last. But if you genuinely enjoy the games, you can earn something while doing it. Nothing extraordinary, but something.
