Blockchain gaming community Gam3s.gg has revealed the shortlisted nominees for its 2023 awards. Starting today, the community will be able to vote for the final winners, which will account for 10% of the final votes. 

Out of 214 games – which is just over double the amount of games in 2022 – 40 made it to the finals. These span across 9 blockchains, with Arbitrum making its debut this year. No surprise is to see that the top five blockchains represented among the shortlisted titles are Polygon, Ethereum, Immutable, Arbitrum and Avalanche. Polygon has remained the top blockchain throughout 2023 in terms of onboarding new games, while Solana and BNB has faded.
