Universe Island: An Immersive PlayToEarn Experience

History of P2E Games

What started as a casual niche with a simple yet efficient approach of keeping the user’s interest in mind, has now gained popularity across the globe! Play-2-Earn or P2E games are a comparatively new concept that took the gaming industry to a whole new level by introducing an earning model, which was pretty uncharacteristic of the traditional games that people were used to. Players no longer were having to shell out cash, but rather, were being rewarded for their engagement and time invested playing in the form of NFTs or other crypto rewards. This was the main feature that intrigued players to give the P2E model a try over the conventional games, and since then there has been no turning back.

Tracing the roots of the P2E games, it all started with the Pay-to-Play (P2P) models in the 1970s where players mostly were rewarded in terms of satisfaction from the enjoyment in-game. Then came the Free-to-Play model in 2000s which was one of the main factor that aided to the significant spread of the gaming culture. It offered no upfront costs to players as a necessity to play and gave players an option of spending on in-app purchases only if they wished to. Games like Fortnite, Pokémon and Pubg are few examples of such games which significantly spread the craze of gaming and caused a wide spread of the base of players.

Finally in the recent times came the Play-to-Earn models where users were rewarded via tokens or other crypto upon playing. It gives players an incentives to play by giving them ownership over digital assets in game in return of participation and engagement. These assets also sometimes have potential and may allow players to increase their value as more time is invested.

This incentive of being rewarded in assets that can be converted to real world asset is something that attracted lots of people, and studies showed a drastic increase in the indulgence of people in the gaming industry during the pandemic. In fact, this rewarding virtual world proved to have a scope so promising that a lot of players across the globe even quit their jobs in order to earn a living out of their passion of gaming!
