Web3 Gamer Survey Reveals Unique Traits and Behavioral Patterns

A recent survey of Web3 gamers revealed some unique characteristics and behavior patterns of this emerging group. The results showed that Web3 gamers generally have a more professional and in-depth gaming experience and are more familiar with digital asset trading.

Main Findings

• 87% of Web3 game players have traded digital items in games.
• The male proportion among Web3 gamers reaches 72%, higher than the 59% of traditional gamers.
• Web3 players are more inclined towards competitive games like MOBA, with the likelihood of choosing MOBA games being twice that of traditional players.

Player Demographics

Surveys show that Web3 gamers are mainly concentrated in the age group of 25-34, mostly high-income individuals living in urban areas. Compared to regular players, they spend 22-25% more time gaming on consoles and PCs each week.

In terms of game type preferences, Web3 players tend to favor "hardcore" game types like MOBA and MMO, while showing less interest in puzzle and life simulation games. This reflects that the Web3 player group as a whole has more characteristics of professional gamers.

Player Motivation and Behavior

Web3 gamers exhibit unique motivations for playing games. Compared to traditional players, they place more emphasis on competition, community interaction, and brand experience within the game, rather than simply playing to pass the time.

In terms of digital asset trading, Web3 players demonstrate richer experiences. 87% of respondents reported having traded digital items in games, and this experience has naturally extended to the cryptocurrency and NFT markets.

Industry Insights

The survey results provide important references for Web3 game developers. Considering the characteristics of this group, game design can incorporate more elements of competition, social interaction, and economic systems. At the same time, taking into account the expertise of Web3 players, games can be designed with more complex and in-depth gameplay.

However, if developers want to expand their audience, they also need to consider how to lower the entry barriers and simplify processes such as wallet setup and token purchases to attract more casual players.

Overall, the survey reveals that Web3 gamers are a more professional, dedicated, and experienced group. As the industry develops, how to expand the audience base while maintaining the core player community will be an important challenge for Web3 game developers.
