There are numerous ways to utilize NFT in the gaming space. The most interesting scenarios emerge when several are combined for instance an in-game item can act as a collectable, a key to access closed communities and a card to receive specific discounts – all bundled into a pre order package.

In-game items

NFTs can be used to represent unique in-game items such as weapons, armour, or skins. These NFTs can have different attributes such as rarity, power, and cosmetic appearance that can be traded or sold between players.

Digital assets

NFTs can represent ownership of digital assets such as game characters, land, or buildings. These NFTs can be used in games where players can buy, sell, and trade these assets, making it easier to establish ownership and transfer of digital goods.

Collectibles

NFTs can be used to represent collectibles such as trading cards, figurines, or other game-related merchandise. Players can collect these NFTs and trade them with other players or sell them on NFT marketplaces.

Fan engagement

NFTs can be used to engage with fans by creating unique experiences or opportunities such as exclusive access to in-game events, unique in-game items, or personalized gaming experiences.

This can be coupled with additional capabilities the smart contracts bring to the table. For example:

  • Time limited or timed activation - an NFT ticket can be prevented from sale until after the event. Mitigating resale while maintaining the collectible aspect
  • Royalties on sale (transaction) - an NFT can have a certain level of automated royalties that are applied on every transaction.
  • Single owner only – an NFT can have a transaction limit imposed, so that after redemption/purchase it cannot be transferred further.

Overall, NFTs offer a new way for players to interact with games, giving them more control over the gaming economy and allowing for new revenue streams. By leveraging blockchain technology, gaming companies can create new experiences and monetization opportunities that were not possible before
