-
New games by chain: April 2023
In April we’ve added 55 games. As previously, not all of these games are new. They just happen to be games we haven’t discovered, until now. For instance, we looked through Immutable’s game library and found some titles that weren’t on the list. This explains why IMX ends up as third biggest chain by new…

From a total of 852 games on the Big List at the start of April, we cross checked their status, finding that 104 projects have halted their development for various reasons.
