Pixels, a popular Web3 social farming game recently hit an all-time high of 3 million unique lifetime wallets. Since this game is fully browser based, players don’t need a heavy gaming rig to play it. On top of that, the retro-style art looks very nostalgic, which is perhaps one of the reasons why players are loving it.
Recent Data and Metrics
Pixels was originally developed on Polygon, an Ethereum sidechain. However, in the late 2023, the game shifted to the Ronin blockchain to benefit from faster speeds and higher efficiency. Some say that its migration is one of the contributing factors for this surge in player base.
Earlier in March, Heidi Christine, the CMO at Pixels mentioned on X (formerly Twitter) that the game had achieved more than 328,000 daily active users. The CMO also added that both the Pixels and the Ronin community are setting new standards in Web3 gaming.
