Metaverse games on this list include the user-built virtual world of The Sandbox and the player-owned real estate platform of Decentraland.
The Sandbox is the most established metaverse NFT game available, a virtual world built on Ethereum where players buy land, build experiences using a drag-and-drop game maker, and monetize what they create. Browsing and building starter areas is free, with land ownership and deeper creation tools requiring asset purchases. Blockchain metaverse games differ from other categories on this site because the world itself is the product: you're not completing a game, you're participating in a persistent player-driven economy. Decentraland extends that into a browser-accessible virtual city with user-governed districts and events.
Creative building, social exploration, economy-focused land ownership, and event-based platforms all feature in this list. If you want to build and monetize, look at The Sandbox and Decentraland; if you prefer exploring and socialising without upfront investment, the browser-based options let you start without buying assets.
