Metaverse gaming is sort of like an urban legend where you’ve heard about it but you haven’t really put much thought into which games are part of the Metaverse. When some people think Metaverse we think of it as this enormous world where players can spend real money on digital products. It’s one big supermarket where you can interact with anyone around the world. Turns out, there are some games out there, that you’re playing today that are part of the Metaverse already. Here are the best games that are part of the Metaverse today.
The Best Metaverse Games
Second Life
It’s essentially a Metaverse experience and it was one of the original games that added 3D worlds where you could purchase cosmetics and property with real money. The creator, Philip Rosedale is considered one of the first people to create a world that is what we call Metaverse today. Second Life is a world within a world where you can create your own avatar, buy cosmetics, and is completely open world. At the height of its popularity, the game partnered with Gossip Girl, creating a virtual upper East Side that players can explore. We’re including it on this list because it’s still very active and was one of the firsts.
Fortnite
What game can you list that has created a virtual concert? Fortnite is on this list for allowing its players to experience virtual concerts in space. We’ve had artists such as Ariana Grande, Travis Scott, & Marshmello perform in this interactive experience. Originally, Fortnite was just a battle royale game and as it grew it became a world-building blueprint for Metaverse games. Fortnite has a creative mode where players can make their own base and invite players to join to hang out or battle. Metaverse is about bringing people together in a virtual world, and Fortnite does just that. Speaking of bringing people together…
Minecraft
Remember when a user created an entire Harry Potter world? How about when another player created Middle Earth? This popular game continues to dominate the sandbox universe and is only growing in popularity. Creative mode on Minecraft allows players to make these fantastic worlds and it allows players from all around the world to be able to come to experience them.
Somnium Space
Virtual Reality is a thing of the future and gaming companies are starting to lean towards making their games compatible within the virtual space. There’s nothing like playing a horror game and getting terrified as you’re walking through a creepy house. Somnium Space takes virtual reality and allows you to interact with players in a virtual space. This space allows you to play games, drive cars, purchase NFT land plots, and enjoy live concerts. It’s a pretty cool experience and you don’t have to spend real money to play. It’s a free-to-play game and purchasing items is always optional. It’s definitely a game you should check out if you have virtual reality.
