Shooter games built on blockchain, from the arena tactics of The Machines Arena to the 150-player battle royale of Off The Grid.
Off The Grid leads the category with the 2025 GAM3 Award for Game of the Year and Best Shooter, the first blockchain FPS to win at that level. It runs free-to-play on PC, PS5, and Xbox with no wallet required to start. Unlike RPG or strategy NFT games, FPS titles here are session-based: drop in, play a match, leave with no long-term commitment or upfront investment needed. ev.io takes that further as a browser-based arena shooter that runs without a download at all.
Battle royale, arena combat, wave survival, and browser-based quick sessions all have a home in this list. Pick by format first, the blockchain layer works the same way across all of them.
