NFL Rivals NFT Game Soars to 3 Million Players Amid Revenue Surge

In a groundbreaking achievement, the blockchain-powered NFL Rivals NFT game has welcomed nearly 3 million players, marking a significant milestone for Mythical Games @playmythical, the creative force behind the popular title. Just four months ago, the game hit the 1 million player mark, showcasing an unprecedented surge in popularity within the gaming community.

NFL Rivals, an arcade-style gaming experience, has gained remarkable traction, with over 20,000 new players joining the game daily. Linden attributed this surge in numbers to the ongoing NFL season, coupled with the game’s seamless integration of blockchain technology.

One of the pivotal factors driving NFL Rivals’ meteoric rise is its in-game marketplace, which received the green light from tech giants Apple and Google. This approval allowed players to trade non-fungible tokens (NFTs) within the game. The in-game NFT marketplace rollout occurs in three phases. Presently, the second phase is underway, enabling players to sell assets through a credit system. Linden noted a substantial uptick in transaction volume, increasing by nearly 50% after this marketplace implementation.

Additionally, Mythical Games’ strategic partnerships have bolstered the game’s appeal. Collaborations with the NFL, the NFL’s Players Association, the Miami Dolphins, and Amazon Prime Gaming have significantly contributed to the game’s brand recognition and player engagement.

The company’s migration from Ethereum to Polkadot, initiated in April, has further enhanced the game’s scalability.

The decision to leave the Ethereum ecosystem stems from a combination of issues surrounding slow transaction speeds, even with L2 roll-ups, that would ultimately hinder our scaling plans with our new games this year. Explained Linden

While Mythical Games garnered significant investments, including $37 million from backers like ARK Invest and Animoca Brands, recent reports indicate a recalibration in its fundraising goals. The first close of the funding round fell short of the initial target, leading to a 20% reduction in the company’s valuation, now standing at $965 million.

Despite these challenges, Mythical Games remains resilient, continuously innovating in the blockchain gaming landscape. With the NFL Rivals NFT game achieving unprecedented success, the future holds promising prospects for both Mythical Games and the gaming community at large. Stay tuned for further updates as this remarkable journey unfolds.
