India Ranks First Globally for Play-To-Earn Gaming Adoption

India Play-To-Earn
When it comes to Play-to-Earn, India has taken the top rank (P2E). According to a new survey, 34% of Indian respondents had played a P2E game. NFT gaming is also popular in Hong Kong (29%) and the United Arab Emirates (28%) (27%). Sweden, on the other hand, has only 4% of respondents who say they have played NFT games. So far, France (6%) has had a modest uptake. According to the Finder's NFT Gaming Adoption Report, all of this is true. In total, 43,312 persons from 26 countries were polled by Finder.com.

India first, Hong Kong Second

Finder's cryptocurrency editor is Keegan Francis. According to him, Hong Kong's P2E adoption rate is already twice the global average of 14%. And he believes it will continue to expand.

 “An additional 8% of Hong Kongers plan to use a P2E NFT game by the end of the year, meaning adoption could soon reach 36%. In Hong Kong, men are more likely to participate in P2E than women. 31% of men said they have played-to-earn compared to 27% of women – a gap of 4 percentage points.”

Other Countries

While India and Hong Kong compete for first place, the United Arab Emirates is climbing the rankings (27%). The Philippines is next, with a difference of only two percentage points (25%). Finder says their report revealed that P2E is on the rise globally, with adoption set to grow 10% on average.
